Synthesis of Bi₂S₃/BiVO₄ Heterojunction with a One-Step Hydrothermal Method Based on pH Control and the Evaluation of Visible-Light Photocatalytic Performance. MATERIALS 2017; 10:ma10080891. [PMID: 28767085 PMCID: PMC5578257 DOI: 10.3390/ma10080891] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2017] [Revised: 07/15/2017] [Accepted: 07/28/2017] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
The band gaps of bismuth vanadate (BiVO4) and bismuth sulfide (Bi2S3) are about 2.40 eV and 1.30 eV, respectively. Although both BiVO4 and Bi2S3 are capable of strong visible light absorption, electron–hole recombination occurs easily. To solve this problem, we designed a one-step hydrothermal method for synthesizing a Bismuth sulfide (Bi2S3)/Bismuth vanadate (BiVO4) heterojunction using polyvinylpyrrolidone K-30 (PVP) as a structure-directing agent, and 2-Amino-3-mercaptopropanoic acid (l-cysteine) as a sulfur source. The pH of the reaction solution was regulated to yield different products: when the pH was 7.5, only monoclinic BiVO4 was produced (sample 7.5); when the pH was 8.0 or 8.5, both Bi2S3 and BiVO4 were produced (samples 8.0 and 8.5); and when the pH was 9.0, only Bi2S3 was produced (sample 9.0). In sample 8.0, Bi2S3 and BiVO4 were closely integrated with each other, with Bi2S3 particles formed on the surface of concentric BiVO4 layers, but the two compounds grew separately in a pH solution of 8.5. Visible-light photocatalytic degradation experiments demonstrated that the degradation efficiency of the Bi2S3/BiVO4 heterojunction was highest when prepared under a pH of 8.0. The initial rhodamine B in the solution (5 mg/L) was completely degraded within three hours. Recycling experiments verified the high stability of Bi2S3/BiVO4. The synthesis method proposed in this paper is expected to enable large-scale and practical use of Bi2S3/BiVO4.

Abstract
Defect engineering is regarded as one of the most active projects to monitor the chemical and physical properties of materials, which is expected to increase the photocatalytic activities of the materials. Herein, oxygen vacancies and IO3- doping are introduced into BiOI nanosheets via adding NaH2PO2, which can impact the charge carrier dynamics of BiOI photocatalysts, such as its excitation, separation, trap, and transfer. These oxygen-deficient BiOI nanosheets display attractive photocatalytic activities of gaseous formaldehyde degradation and methyl orange under visible light irradiation, which are 5 and 3.5 times higher than the BiOI samples, respectively. Moreover, the comodified BiOI also displayed superior cycling stability and can be used for practical application. This work not only develops an effective strategy for fabricating oxygen vacancies but also offers deep insight into the impact of surface defects in enhancing photocatalysis.
