One-step synthesis of novel Bi/Bi2SiO5 flower-like composites with highly-efficient CO2 photoreduction performance

Construction of Ultrafine Ag2S NPs Anchored onto 3D Network Rodlike Bi2SiO5 and Insight into the Photocatalytic Mechanism

“…And the ultrafine and isolated island Ag 2 S NPs with about 5 nm were distributed homogeneously onto the surface of Bi 2 SiO 5 (Figure inset), showing a strong interaction between Ag 2 S and Bi 2 SiO 5 . Furthermore, the HRTEM image showed that the lattice interlinear spacings of 0.302 and 0.261 nm corresponding to the (310) crystal plane of Bi 2 SiO 5 and the (−121) crystal plane of Ag 2 S, respectively, which confirmed the XRD, XPS, and EDS results that revealed that the Ag 2 S was closely associated with Bi 2 SiO 5 .…”

Multifunctional epoxy resin-based composites with excellent flexural strength and X-ray imaging capacity using micro/nano structured QF-Bi2SiO5 fillers

“…The binding energy of 100.1 eV is assigned to Si–O and the peak at 101.8 eV corresponds to SiO 5 6− , which indicates the formation of Bi 2 SiO 5. 29 According to Fig. 3e, h and Fig.…”

Cellulose-templated Bi2SiO5nanorods with enhanced UV/vis light utilization efficiency for high-performance photocatalytic degradation of organic contaminants

“…4 However, Bi 2 SiO 5 has difficulty in effectively utilizing visible light due to its poor charge separation and migration ability for surface reaction sites and wide bandgap of about 3.5 eV. 5,6 Consequently, enhancing the visible light absorbance and the photo-generated electron-hole pair separation ability of Bi 2 SiO 5 is the key to improving the photocatalytic activity. 7 It was widely known that the catalyst morphology shows an essential influence in facilitating the contact of pollutants with the active sites of the catalysts, which can inspire electron-hole pairs and improve visible light catalytic capability to increase the photodegradation activity.…”
