Electrospun nanofibers of Pd-doped α-Bi2O3 for enhancing photocatalytic denitrification of fuel oil under visible light

Degradation of rhodamine B photocatalyzed by hydrothermally prepared Pd-doped Bi2MoO6 nanoplates

“…C o and C t are initial and final concentrations at fixed irradiation time and k is the pseudo-first-order rate constant [4,13,14,20]. The calculated rate constants are 1.92 × 10 −3 , 9.87 × 10 −3 , 0.0133 and 6.34 × 10 −3 min −1 for 0%, 1%, 3% and 5% Pd-doped Bi 2 MoO 6 , respectively.…”

“…Narrowing of band gap and delaying of photo-excited electron-photoinduced hole pairs can lead to enhance degradation rate [9,13,14]. To solve this problem, noble metals such as Ag [14,15], Au [16], Pt [17][18][19] and Pd [20][21][22] have been selected to improve photocatalytic kinetics by being doped to Bi 2 MoO 6 lattice. The advantage of this process is to delay recombination of charge carriers and to enhance degradation kinetics [15,16,20].…”

Among the noble metals, palladium (Pd) was doped to a photocatalyst with the doped level fall within the host band gap.…”

Sunlight Driven Activated Carbon Modified BiVO4 Photocatalyst for the Degradation of Rhodamine-B

“…The pseudo-first order kinetic model has been applied to obtain the rate constant (k), to examine the reaction kinetics of the Rh-B degradation. It was calculated by using the following equation [46]. ln (C0/C) = k t (7) Where, C0 represents the initial concentration of Rh-B solution, C represents concentration of Rh-B under irradiation of light at given time and k is the observed first order rate constant.…”

Construction of a novel step-scheme CdS/Pt/Bi2MoO6 photocatalyst for efficient photocatalytic fuel denitrification

“…After 240 min of visible-light irradiation ( λ ≥ 420 nm), the prepared photocatalyst showed nearly 100% fuel denitration rate. Moreover, Meng et al 10 reported electrospun nanofibers of Pd-doped α-Bi 2 O 3 , which degraded up to 84.9% of pyridine after 60 min of visible-light radiation. Among the traditional photocatalysts considered in the current research, CdS is a typical reduced photocatalyst, which is widely employed in H 2 production 11 and organic pollutant degradation.…”
