Partially etched Bi2O2CO3 by metal chloride for enhanced reactive oxygen species generation: A tale of two strategies
摘要： Light-mediated reactive oxygen species generation with water and oxygen is generally regarded as a mild and efficient way for organic pollutants removal. However, it is highly difficult but desirable to construct a photochemical system with increased reactive oxygen species production. Herein, by using Bi2O2CO3 as a prototype, we devise a simple metal chloride-involved etching method to achieve better light absorption and charge carriers separation in a wide-band-gap semiconductor, thus giving rise to improved molecular oxygen activation. The improved photoinduced reactive oxygen species production is further verified by excellent photocatalytic degradation ability of RhB, TC and BPA under visible and ultraviolet light illumination. In addition, the metal chloride-induced strategies—heterojunction formation and cation doping—significantly affect the dynamics and transfer of carriers, which are advantageous to manipulate one-/two-electron pathway for producing reactive oxygen species.

Glucose-assisted hydrothermal synthesis of plasmonic Bi deposited nested Bi2O2?xCO3 photocatalysts with enhanced photocatalytic activity
摘要： Crystal defects play an important role on the physical and chemical properties of semiconductors. In this work, a series of Bi/Bi2O2?xCO3 photocatalysts have been fabricated by an one-pot hydrothermal method, where glucose is used as reducing and morphological control agent. The phase structure, morphology, optical and photoelectrochemical properties of the photocatalysts are characterized by various techniques. These oxygen vacancies (OVs) have been confirmed and characterized by ESR spectroscopy and XPS spectra. The Bi/Bi2O2?xCO3 photocatalysts exhibits highest removal efficiency of Lanasol Red 5B and ciprofloxacin. The corresponding degradation rate constant for Lanasol Red 5B is about 2.28 times higher than that of Bi2O2CO3 under simulated solar irradiation, and 10.9 times under visible light irradiation, respectively. Radical scavenger experiments futher indicated that holes (h+) and hydroxyl radical (OH) are the main active species for Lanasol Red 5B degradation. This enhanced photocatalytic performance can be rationalized by the synergistic effects of Bi plasmon and OVs, resulting in, enhanced light-harvesting and electron- hole separation ability of Bi/Bi2O2?xCO3 photocatalysts.

Br-doped Bi2O2CO3 nanosheets with improved electronic structure and accelerated charge migration for outstanding photocatalytic behavior
摘要： The work presents a combinative merit of non-metal ion doping and active facet effect of Bi2O2CO3 photocatalyst. Br-doped Bi2O2CO3 nanosheets with exposed {001} facets were facilely prepared via a one-step hydrothermal reaction with the assistance of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) at a mild temperature of 60 °C for 4 h. The presence of CTAB not only influences the growth of Bi2O2CO3 crystalline but also leads to a Br-doping. Based on the crystal structure and DFT calculation, bromine from CTAB as dopant interstitially incorporates into Bi2O2CO3 lattice, which alters the band gap positions of Bi2O2CO3 and generates delocalized impurity states at the Fermi level. The improved electronic structure endows Br-doped Bi2O2CO3 with a broadened light-harvesting and accelarated charge migration. In addition, the thin nanosheet means more exposure of {001} active facets and larger internal electric field, which would also benefit for the charge separation. The sample with a trace Br content of 1.17 wt% shows the best degradation efficiency for RhB with a rate constant k enhanced by 3.6 folds compared with that of pure Bi2O2CO3 under simulated solar irradiation. Combining the effective catalytic sites and the detected active species, a possible migration mechanism of photogenerated e-/h+ pairs on the surface of Br-doped Bi2O2CO3 nanosheet is proposed. The work provides some new insights into the rational design and synthesis of non-metal doped semiconductor photocatalyst with facet dependency.
