Photocatalytic property of bismuth titanate Bi2Ti2O7

Rapid photocatalytic degradation of PCP–Na over NaBiO3 driven by visible light irradiation

“…), establishment of the p-n heterojunction by two semiconductor compounds with different energy band structures [9,10] and development of new materials are the main strategies to develop visible-light-sensitive photocatalysts. Bi-containing oxides such as Bi 2 Ti 2 O 7 [11], Bi 2 WO 6 [12,13] and BaBiO 3 [14] have been reported to be promising photocatalysts under visible light irradiation. NaBiO 3 is another new efficient photocatalyst which was firstly demonstrated by Tetsuya Kako et al Their results show that NaBiO 3 showed a higher photocatalytic activity towards methylene blue compared to some other visible light sensitive semiconductor compounds such as N doped TiO 2 and BiVO 4 [15].…”

Fabrication of novel rGO/Bi20TiO32 heterojunction for enhanced visible-light photocatalytic activity

“…In earlier studies, Bi 2 Ti 2 O 7 [15], Bi 2 Ti 4 O 11 [16], Bi 4 Ti 3 O 12 [17] and Bi 12 TiO 20 [18] show high photocatalytic activity under UV irradiation. Apart from the above bismuth titanates, Bi 20 TiO 32 with the narrowest band gap (2.36 eV) has the potential to exhibit the highest photocatalytic activity [19,20].…”

Efficient removal of organic contaminants by a visible light driven photocatalyst Sr6Bi2O9

“…Thus, Bi-based oxide semiconductors are easy to acquire a visible light responsive ability [14,17]. The typical efficient Bi-based photocatalysts are BiVO 4 [18][19][20][21], CaBi 2 O 4 [22], Bi 2 WO 6 [23,24], Bi 2 MoO 6 [25], bismuth titanium oxides [26][27][28] and some Bi-based multiple-metal oxides [29][30][31][32].…”
