Facile preparation of Bi2MoO6/multi-walled carbon nanotube nanocomposite for enhancing photocatalytic performance

Facile synthesis of Bi2MoO6–MIL-100(Fe) metal–organic framework composites with enhanced photocatalytic performance

“…9 Compared with TiO 2 , Bi 2 MoO 6 has a lower band gap (2.5-2.8 eV), which makes it utilize more sunlight and displays remarkable photocatalytic performance for organic pollutant degradation under visible light irradiation. 10 However, the practical application of the pure phase Bi 2 MoO 6 is limited by its poor quantum yield, which is caused by the rapid recombination of photoinduced charge carriers. To further improve the photocatalytic activity of Bi 2 MoO 6 , many feasible methods have been explored, including designing textural properties, doping composites 11,12 and combining with other semiconductors, [13][14][15] carbon materials 16 or noble metals.…”

Graphitic carbon nitride for photocatalytic degradation of sulfamethazine in aqueous solution under simulated sunlight irradiation

“…Still, these metal oxide photocatalysts suffer a lot of problems in practical applications, such as the aggregation of active metals, the difficulty of morphology control, and the possible metal leaching that causes secondary pollution. 12,13 The use of a stable metal-free material with strong resistance to harsh environments is therefore a valuable target for the treatment of contaminant in aqueous solution.Graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN, very oen also named aer its idealized sum formula "g-C 3 N 4 " in the literature) has recently been found to be a good visible-light-driven photocatalyst for various reactions including hydrogen evolution from water, [14][15][16][17][18] and recently also overall water splitting, 19 dye degradation 20,21 and CO 2 reduction. 22,23 Especially, this material is stable in acidic, neutral and basic solution, 16,24 which makes it a promising candidate for catalytic removal of pollutants in aqueous solution.…”

Modulation of Bi2MoO6‐Based Materials for Photocatalytic Water Splitting and Environmental Application: a Critical Review

“…Hollow and hierarchical nanostructures of 1D Bi 2 MoO 6 have been developed indirectly by dint of various templates . With polyacrylonitrile (PAN) microfibers as the hard templates, Zhang et al first prepared Bi 2 MoO 6 microtubes using a solvothermal method followed by calcination process .…”
