Enhanced photocatalytic performance of Bi2O3/H-ZSM-5 composite for rhodamine B degradation under UV light irradiation

Degradation of benzene on TiO2/SiO2/Bi2O3 photocatalysts under UV and visible light

“…And the Bi 2 O 3 is possibly highly dispersed in the TiO 2 /Bi 2 O 3 and TiO 2 /SiO 2 /Bi 2 O 3 samples [17,19]. However, Bagwasi and co-workers [20] suggested that Bi 3+ substituted for Ti 4+ in bismuth and boron co-doped TiO 2 , which is different from our observation.…”

“…However, Bagwasi et al [19] reported that the binding energy of Ti 2p 3/2 was around 458.0 eV lower than the results, which the Bi species increased the electron density around Ti due to Bi incorporated to TiO 2 lattices. The binding energies of O 1s ca.…”

Preparation of cerium-doped ZnO hierarchical micro/nanospheres with enhanced photocatalytic performance for phenol degradation under visible light

“…The photocatalysis which can decompose organic pollutants into nontoxic moleculesis regarded as one of the most promising ways to deal with these problems. To date, many oxide semiconductors, such as ZnO [1][2][3], TiO 2 [4,5], Nb 2 O 5 [6], Bi 2 O 3 [7] and WO 3 [8] have been reported as significant photocatalytic materials in various organic pollutants degradation and elimination. ZnO is a wide band gap (~3.3 eV) semiconductor which has been extensively used because of its unique chemical and physical properties, environmental stability, abundant availability and low cost [2].…”

Influence of Sulfation Treatment on Photocatalytic Performance of Mesoporous Bi<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB>–TiO<SUB>2</SUB> Composites

“…6 7 Combining TiO 2 with Bi 2 O 3 has proved an attractive way to enhance photocatalytic activity, due to its intrinsically narrow band gap (2.85 eV) and rich crystal structure diversity. [8][9][10] Bi modification of TiO 2 was found active in photocatalysis, especially for degradation of various pollutants, including rhodamine B, [11][12][13] methylene blue, 14 isoproturon herbicide, 15 indigo carmine. 16 Recently, * Authors to whom correspondence should be addressed.…”
