Effect of Composition on the Optical and Photocatalytic Properties of Visible Light Responsive Materials Bi26–xMgxO40

Abstract: We report the synthesis and the crystal and electronic structure as well as the optical and photocatalytic properties of novel photoactive materials of the general formula Bi 26−x Mg x O 40 . Two compounds with compositions of Bi 24.28(3) Mg 1.72(3) O 40 and Bi 24.05(3) Mg 1.95(3) O 40 are synthesized using the pyrolytic method. According to X-ray diffraction analysis, the materials are monocrystalline species. Their electronic bandgaps determined from Tauc plots are 2.41 eV [Bi 24.28(3) Mg 1.72(3) O 40 ] and … Show more

“…In recent decades, the interest of researchers in the study of the structure and properties of bismuthates of various alkaline earth metals has increased: magnesium [1][2][3][4][5], calcium [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15], strontium and barium [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38]. One of the most promising areas of their application is heterogeneous photocatalysis.…”

“…Second, it was shown in a number of works [39,40] that this class of semiconductor materials can be distinguished into a separate class of photoactive materials with an atypical dependence of the potentials of the energy bands (valence and conduction bands) on the band gap. These two factors make it possible to use alkaline earth metal bismuthates for photocatalytic mineralization of organic hydro-and aeropollutants [3,5,6,10,19,24,26], photolysis of water [7,8,35,36], synthesis of solar fuel due to reduction of carbon dioxide in the presence of water [31,38], selective reduction of metal ions from solutions [41], or direct conversion of solar energy into electrical energy [37]. Separately, we can highlight the work on the study of the antibacterial activity of bismuthates of alkaline earth metals [17,19].…”

“…Metal-ion-doped functional semiconductors are promising candidates due to their extensive applications and potential economic impacts. It is a well-acknowledged fact that by a well-designed crystal structure, chemical composition, and surface features, semiconductors generally have unexpected catalytic activities. For example, the crystal structure and chemical composition have a tremendous influence on the static potential in unit cells, causing a change in catalytic activities. , Extensive theoretical and experimental studies are dedicated to tailoring the natural characteristic of semiconductors according to doping engineering, nonstoichiometric chemical composition, phase structure, particle size, and surface features for modulation of band-gap values, electronic properties, and fundamental structural and catalytic performance. For example, Huang’s research group prepared Fe-doped CeO 2 solid solutions with different amounts of Fe by coprecipitation for the selective chemisorption of a dye .…”
