Ultrathin nanoflakes constructed erythrocyte-like Bi2WO6 hierarchical architecture via anionic self-regulation strategy for improving photocatalytic activity and gas-sensing property

Fabrication of conductive and high-dispersed Ppy@Ag/g-C3N4 composite photocatalysts for removing various pollutants in water

“…Meanwhile, the conduction band (CB) and valence band (VB) of g-C 3 N 4 were also generated holes (h + ) and electrons (e − ) (Eqs. (2), (3)). On one hand, due to the Ag nanoparticles anchored between g-C 3 N 4 and Ppy acted as electron transfer mediator [57], the weak reductive electrons of Ppy easily flow into metal Ag very fast (electron transfer I: Ppy → Ag) (Eq.…”

“…In recent years, developing high efficiency semiconductors photocatalysts [1][2][3][4] have become the research hotspot to decompose effectively harmful organic contaminants for solving environment problems. Among the various photocatalysts, the polymeric graphitic-like carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) has been more and more widely concerned due to its unique inherent characteristic.…”

Nitrogen oxide gas-sensing characteristics of hierarchical Bi2WO6 microspheres prepared by a hydrothermal method

“…Lou et al reported their works on curling-like Bi 2 WO 6 synthesized by a solvothermal route, and its good sensing properties for ethanol detection [24]. Li et al synthesized erythrocyte-like Bi 2 WO 6 at a hydrothermal process, and found its gassensing property towards ethanol was obviously improved relative to the typical Bi 2 WO 6 microspheres [25]. All those works inspired us to investigate the gas-sensing properties of Bi 2 WO 6 based nanomaterials with different morphologies towards various gases.…”

Thickness-dependent photocatalytic activity of bismuth oxybromide nanosheets with highly exposed (0 1 0) facets

“…[1][2][3][4][5]On the one hand, photocatalytic water splitting to produce hydrogen and CO 2 reduction to generate hydrocarbon fuels are capable of alleviating the energy crisis. On the other hand, photocatalytic degradation of toxic pollutants can effectively remedy the environment.…”
