Sillenites materials as novel photocatalysts for methyl orange decomposition

Enhanced degradation of organic pollutants using Bi 25 FeO 40 microcrystals as an efficient reusable heterogeneous photo-Fenton like catalyst

“…Under irradiation, the transition of electrons of Bi 25 FeO 40 in valence band or defect band could lead to the separation of electron-hole pairs [26]. The electron or hole can migrate to the surface of grain.…”

Selective synthesis on structures and morphologies of BixFeyOz nanomaterials with disparate magnetism through time control

“…Solid state reaction of Fe 2 O 3 and Bi 2 O 3 is commonly employed to obtain BiFeO 3 material. However a rapid sintering process [13], quenching process [16] or nitric acid [17] is necessarily needed to eliminate impurity phases, such as Bi 2 Fe 4 O 9 and Bi 25 FeO 40 . Therefore, other methods like sol-gel [18], rapid liquid phrase sintering [19] and glycine combustion [20] are developed to obtain pure BiFeO 3 material with higher resistivity.…”

Electron diffraction study of the sillenites Bi12SiO20, Bi25FeO39 and Bi25InO39: Evidence of short-range ordering of oxygen-vacancies in the trivalent sillenites

“…11,12 The last decade has witnessed an increase in the study of these compounds for photocatalysis and novel applications. [13][14][15][16][17] The physical and electronic structure of sillenites remains important and continues to motivate synthesis, [18][19][20][21][22] optical, [23][24][25] first principles, [26][27][28] dielectric, 29 magnetism, 30 and high-pressure studies. 31,32 Figure 1 shows a representative sillenite structure.…”
