Enhanced photocatalytic activity induced by sp³ to sp² transition of carbon dopants in BiOCl crystals

Journal Article Sun, Jianguo ; Wu, Sujuan ; Yang, Shi-Ze ; ... - Applied Catalysis B: Environmental

The insufficient light absorption and low quantum efficiency limit the photocatalytic performance of wide bandgap semiconductors. Here, we report a facile strategy to engineer the surface disordered defects of BiOCl nanosheets via carbon doping. The surface defects boost the light absorption and also the quantum yields, as the doped carbon atoms exhibit a transition from sp³ to sp² hybridization at elevated temperature, corresponding toa change of assembly state from 3D cluster to 2D graphite-like structure. This transition results in an effective charge separation and thus one order of enhancement in photocatalytic activity toward phenol degradation under visible light. The currentmore »« less

Surface Reorganization Leads to Enhanced Photocatalytic Activity in Defective BiOCl

Journal Article Wu, Sujuan ; Sun, Weiwei ; Sun, Jianguo ; ... - Chemistry of Materials

Introducing defects into semiconductor photocatalysts has been identified as an effective approach to extend the visible-light absorption and achieve high-efficiency solar energy conversion. However, the band gap model system of defect states may not truly describe the evolutions in real materials as the narrower band gap would limit the photocatalytic activity via suppressing the charge separation. We report that reorganizing the surface termination in a defective semiconductor plays a key role in determining the photocatalytic performance. We directly observed that the surface reorganizations are accompanied by the formation of defects in layered structured bismuth oxychloride (BiOCl). Both experimental and theoreticalmore »« less

Enhanced photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical activities of reduced TiO _2-x /BiOCl heterojunctions

Journal Article Fu, Rongrong ; Zeng, Xiaoqiao ; Ma, Lu ; ... - Journal of Power Sources

A key issue to design highly efficient photoelectrodes for hydrogen production is how to prohibit the rapid carrier recombination. In order to use the visible light and reduce the recombination of electrons and holes, reduced TiO_2-x/BiOCl heterojunctions are successfully synthesized and the photoelectrodes are assembled in this work. The effects of various Bi/Ti molar ratios on the structural, morphological, optical, photoelectrochemical and photocatalytic activities of the resultant samples are investigated systematically. The TiO_2-x nanoparticles contain Ti³⁺, Ti²⁺, and oxygen vacancies (Ov), while the BiOCl nanosheets exposed {001} facet. Ultraviolet–visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV–vis DRS) results indicate that the existence ofmore »« less

Low temperature one-step synthesis of rutile TiO{sub 2}/BiOCl composites with enhanced photocatalytic activity

Journal Article Duo, Fangfang ; Wang, Yawen ; Fan, Caimei ; ... - Materials Characterization

The rutile TiO{sub 2}/BiOCl composites were successfully fabricated by a facile one-step hydrolysis method at low temperature (50 °C). The X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectra, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements were employed to characterize the phase structures, morphologies, optical properties, surface areas, and electronic state of the samples. The rutile TiO{sub 2}/BiOCl composites exhibited higher photocatalytic activity than pure BiOCl and rutile TiO{sub 2} for the degradation of phenol under artificial solar light irradiation. In addition, the photocatalytic mechanism has also been investigated and discussed. The enhanced photocatalyticmore »« less

Synthesis of cuboid BiOCl nanosheets coupled with CdS quantum dots by region-selective deposition process with enhanced photocatalytic activity

Journal Article Pan, Jinbo ; Liu, Jianjun ; Zuo, Shengli ; ... - Materials Research Bulletin

Highlights: • Region-selective deposition process was adopted to prepare high-dispersed CdS QDs/BiOCl nanocomposites consisting of cuboid BiOCl nanosheets exposing (001) facet and CdS QDs with size of 5–10 nm. • The TGA was used as bridge linked the CdS QDs and BiOCl, which enables CdS QDs spread homogeneously on the (001) facet of BiOCl. • The optical absorption properties and charge transfer efficiency of CdS QDs/BiOCl nanocomposites are much improved owing to the widespread heterojunction between CdS QDs and BiOCl. • The photocatalytic degradation activities of CdS QDs/BiOCl composites are excellent for MO dyes and phenol contaminants under simulated solarmore »« less
