Novel noble metal (Rh, Pd, Pt)/BiOX(Cl, Br, I) composite photocatalysts with enhanced photocatalytic performance in dye degradation

Facile hydrothermal synthesis of Bi/BiOBr composites with enhanced visible-light photocatalytic activities for the degradation of rhodamine B

“…At present, some noble metal/BiOBr composites have been proved as efficient photocatalysts under visible-light irradiation, such as Ag/BiOBr [11], Pd/BiOBr [12], and Pt/BiOBr [13]. Recently, some researchers found that metallic Bi modification could enhance the photocatalytic efficiency of semiconductor BiOCl and BiOI photocatalysts [14,15].…”

Pt/Bi2WO6 composite microflowers: High visible light photocatalytic performance and easy recycle

“…For the formation of 3D microflowers, a layer-by-layer growth style should be considered. [42,43]. Therefore, we can see that the presence of Pt NPs has obvious influence on light absorption.…”

Ag-based semiconductor photocatalysts in environmental purification

“…On the other side, it is urgent to develop new type of visible light driven photocatalysts [19][20][21][22]. Up to now, different visible light photocatalysts Page 4 of 33 A c c e p t e d M a n u s c r i p t 4 have been developed, such as gold nanoclusters (Au 25 (SR) 18 /TiO 2 ) [23], TiO 2-x N x [24], Rh(Pd, Pt)/BiOX(Cl, Br, I) [25], g-C 3 N 4 [26], supported plasmonic noble metal (e.g. gold, silver) nanoparticles (NPs) [27], and etc.…”
