Gold Nanoclusters Enhanced Photocatalytic Property of Bismuth Oxychloride

Abstract: This paper have synthesized bismuth oxychloride (BiOCl) nanoplate (BNS) by hydrothermal method and fabricated BiOCl-gold nanoclusters (Au NCs) heterostucture nanomaterials (BANC) through electrostatic interaction. X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscope and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy characterizations indicate Au NCs successfully modified on BNS. The small energy gap makes Au NCs suitable for absorbing sunlight, while staggered energy bands between Au NCs and BiOCl could effectively separate … Show more

“…BiOCl nanosheets were fabricated through the hydrothermal method, following the procedures reported in our previous work. [ 14 ] Transmission electron microscopy image (Figure S1A, Supporting Information) confirmed the nano‐lamellar structure of BiOCl with uniform sizes. Subsequently, Au nanospheres (≈35 nm) were deposited on the edges of BiOCl nanosheets as evidenced by the TEM image (Figure S1B, Supporting Information).…”

“…Among the semiconductors, bismuth oxychloride (BiOCl) semiconductor nanomaterial could efficiently produce electrons and holes due to their special layered structure. [ 14 ] The band gap of BiOCl is 3.1–3.4 eV, [ 15 ] making it excitable by high‐frequency ultrasound for SDT treatment, inducing sonoluminescence in the aqueous solution and emitting ultraviolet light to excite most semiconductor nanomaterials to produce free electrons and holes. [ 16 ] Notably, the conduction and valence band potentials of BiOCl are −0.77 and 2.43 V versus NHE, respectively, [ 15a ] endowing the produced electrons and holes with strong redox ability.…”

“…However, these containing organic pollutants were difficult to remove with conventional technologies [1]. The present of semiconductor nanomaterials, such as titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) [2], ferric oxide (Fe 2 O 3 ) [3], bismuth trioxide (Bi 2 O 3 ) [4], bismuth oxychloride (BiOCl) [5], for photocatalysis has great potential in degrading organic pollutants through free radicals generation ability through absorbing solar energy. Meanwhile the advantages of good chemical stability, simplicity of synthesis, and relatively low cost make semiconductor nanomaterials being ideal photocatalyst [6–13].…”
