Experimental and theoretical studies of second harmonic generation for Bi2O2[NO3(OH)]

Synthesis of Unique Flowerlike Bi2O2(OH)(NO3) Hierarchical Microstructures with High Surface Area and Superior Photocatalytic Performance

“…Phase-pure BION is usually preparedb yh ydrothermalm ethods where rigorousp Hc ontrol using KOH or NaOH is required. [13][14][15] The synthesis of basic bismuth nitrates with definite compositions through af acile route is still challenging. Here, BION could be easily fabricated by ah ydrothermal route and pH control was avoided.…”

“…Among these basic bismuth nitrates, Bi 2 O 2 (OH)(NO 3 ) (denoted as BION) possesses nonlinear optical effects and superior photocatalytic performance for degrading many contaminants due to its non‐centrosymmetric configuration; as well as a Sillén‐related layered structure composed of [Bi 2 O 2 ] 2+ interleaved with OH − and (NO 3 ) − groups along the z ‐axis, which could induce spontaneous polarization and thus efficiently separate photogenerated charge carriers. Phase‐pure BION is usually prepared by hydrothermal methods where rigorous pH control using KOH or NaOH is required . The synthesis of basic bismuth nitrates with definite compositions through a facile route is still challenging.…”

Syntheses, Crystal Structures, and Properties of Two Quaternary Selenite/Tellurite‐Nitrates with Formula of Bi(SeO3)(NO3) and Bi3(μ3‐OH)(TeO3)3(NO3)2

“…Thus, compound 1 exhibits a 2D [Bi(SeO 3 )(NO 3 )] layer in the bc plane including mixed SeO 3 2− and N(1)O 3 − anions (Figure a). These bond distances and angles are close to those reported in metal selenite‐nitrates . The calculated bond valence sum (BVS) values of 3.05, 4.04 and 4.89 for Bi(1), Se(1) and N(1), respectively, are in good agreement with the expected +3, +4 and +5.…”

Recent advances on second-order NLO materials based on metal iodates

“…In the meantime several new metal phosphates with good SHG properties have been also discovered [40,41]. The efforts to replace BO 3 groups with isoelectronic anions such as carbonate and nitrate groups have afforded a variety of new NLO crystals based on carbonates [42,43] and nitrates [44][45][46]. For the IR NLO crystals, the explorations of new SHG materials based on metal halides [47][48][49][50] and metal chalcogenides remain very active [51][52][53][54][55][56][57].…”
