The preparation and photocatalytic performance of BiOCl@Ag, a visible-light responsive catalyst

Metal-related electrocatalysts for Li–CO2batteries: an overview of the fundamentals to explore future-oriented strategies

“…When the catalyst interacts with the plasma, the physical and chemical properties of the catalyst change, so that the catalyst activity is improved; [156][157][158] The plasma can change the valence of the active molecules on the surface of the catalyst, so that the surface modication of the catalyst is realized. 159 At the same time, the photoelectric effect and the plasma interaction have synergistic effects, and the locally enhanced electric eld has a strong promoting effect on the separation and transfer of photogenerated carriers, so the full utilization of carriers in the reduction and oxidation of CO 2 is realized. 79 In conclusion, the photoelectric effect and plasmonic interactions are expected to play crucial roles in Li-CO 2 battery catalytic systems.…”

Preparation and application of Ag plasmon Bi3O4Cl photocatalyst for removal of emerging contaminants under visible light

“… Yu et al (2013) reported a series of (Rh, Pd, Pt)-BiOCl plasmon photocatalysts exhibiting excellent photocatalytic performance in visible light because the plasmon resonance generated by the noble metal nanoparticles improved the charge separation efficiency through electron capture. Xu et al (2019) prepared a novel Ag@BiOCl plasmon photocatalyst, wherein the Schottky barrier formed by the BiOCl semiconductor and Ag nanoparticles served as a photoelectron capture center to to separate the photogenerated charges. Hence, the photocatalytic performance of the bismuth-oxychloride-based system was significantly improved through plasmon modification.…”

Effect of Temperature on the Adhesion and Bactericidal Activities of Ag+-Doped BiVO4 Ceramic Tiles

“…Silver can form a Schottky barrier at the interface of photocatalytic materials, and the high conductivity of Ag can also improve the charge transfer rate of photocatalytic materials, which can improve electron-hole separation. In addition, silver has a better surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect than other noble metals, which gives materials modified by silver a higher electron-hole separation efficiency and, thus, better photocatalytic activity [12,13]. Silver (Ag + ) is also an excellent antibacterial agent [14].…”
