Full-spectrum-responsive 1D/2D BiVO4:Er3+,Yb3+/BiOCl core-shell S-scheme heterostructure with boosted charge transport and redox capacity for the efficient removal of organic pollutants

A novel visible-light-driven Z-scheme C3N5/BiVO4 heterostructure with enhanced photocatalytic degradation performance

“…Nevertheless, due to the rapid recombination of photoexcited electrons and holes in BiVO 4 , the photoexcited carriers migrating to the surface in BiVO 4 processed with a poor e ciency and limited electrons and holes participated in the degradation reaction, which restrict the oxidation capacity of BiVO 4 for organic pollutants degradation (Liu et al 2021;Guo et al 2022). To improve the photocatalytic performance of BiVO 4 , some approaches have been proposed, such as elemental doping (Zhao et al 2018), morphology control (Wu et al 2018), and heterostructure establishment (Liu et al 2023;Li et al 2020;Chang et al 2020).…”

Ultrathin defective heterojunction for visible light NO removal: correlation between microstructure and reaction mechanisms

“…The concentration of the generated oxidation products (NO 2 and NO 3 − ) closely matches the consumed concentration of NO (the detailed calculations for N balance are given in ESI †).With further optimization, defective sample 2 with ultrathin nanosheets might be a viable candidate for further utilization in the field of environmental pollution control. Most utilities of BiVO 4 /BiOCl are organic pollutant degradation (Fig.6b), and few studies have been reported on the enhancement of their photoactivities for atmospheric pollutant treatments [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39]. Our work presents the first BiVO 4 / BiOCl photocatalysts with surface defects and thickness for the removal of dilute NO (∼ppb).…”
