Abstract
Photocatalytic conversion of CO2 into fuels such as CO, CH4, and CH3OH, is a promising approach for achieving carbon neutrality. Bismuth oxyhalides (BiOX, where X = Cl, Br, and I) are appropriate photocatalysts for this purpose due to the merits of visible-light-active, efficient charge separation, and easy-to-modify crystal structure and surface properties. For practical applications, multiple strategies have been proposed to develop high-efficiency BiOX-based photocatalysts. This review summarizes the development of different approaches to prepare BiOX-based photocatalysts for efficient CO2 reduction. In the review, the fundamentals of photocatalytic CO2 reduction are introduced. Then, several widely used modification methods for BiOX photocatalysts are systematacially discussed, including heterojunction construction, introducing oxygen vacancies (OVs), Bi-enrichment, heteroatom-doping, and morphology design. Finally, the challenges and prospects in the design of future BiOX-based photocatalysis for efficient CO2 reduction are examined.

Abstract
Transforming CO2 into renewable fuels or valuable carbon compounds could be a practical means to tackle the issues of global warming and energy crisis. Photocatalytic CO2 reduction is more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly, and offers a broader range of potential applications than other CO2 conversion techniques. Ferroelectric materials, which belong to a class of materials with switchable polarization, are attractive candidates as catalysts due to their distinctive and substantial impact on surface physical and chemical characteristics. This review provides a concise overview of the fundamental principles underlying photocatalysis and the mechanism involved in CO2 reduction. Additionally, the composition and properties of ferroelectric materials are introduced. This review expands on the research progress in using ferroelectric materials for photocatalytic reduction of CO2 from three perspectives: directly as a catalyst, by modification, and construction of heterojunctions. Finally, the future potential of ferroelectric materials for photocatalytic CO2 reduction is presented. This review may be a valuable guide for creating reasonable and more effective photocatalysts based on ferroelectric materials.

[PMID: 37049847 PMCID: PMC10096083 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28073084] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2023] [Revised: 03/24/2023] [Accepted: 03/28/2023] [Indexed: 03/31/2023] Open
Abstract
In this paper, a novel S-scheme CuS/Bi5O7I heterojunction was successfully constructed using a two-step approach comprising the alkaline hydrothermal method and the adsorption–deposition method, and it consisted of Bi5O7I microrods with CuS particles covering the surface. The photocatalytic antibacterial effects on Escherichia coli (E. coli) were systematically examined with visible light exposure. The results suggested that the 3%-CuS/Bi5O7I composite showed the optimal antibacterial activity, completely inactivating E. coli (5 × 108 cfu/mL) in 180 min of irradiation. Moreover, the bacterial inactivation process was scientifically described. •O2− and h+ were the major active species for the inactivation of the bacteria. In the early stages, SOD and CAT initiated the protection system to avoid the oxidative destruction of the active species. Unfortunately, the antioxidant protection system was overwhelmed thereafter, which led to the destruction of the cell membrane, as evidenced by the microstructure changes in E. coli cells. Subsequently, the leakage of intracellular components including K+, proteins, and DNA resulted in the unavoidable death of E. coli. Due to the construction of the S-scheme heterojunction, the CuS/Bi5O7I composite displayed the boosted visible light harvesting, the high-efficiency separation of photogenerated electrons and holes, and a great redox capacity, contributing to an outstanding photocatalytic disinfection performance. This work offers a new opportunity for S-scheme Bi5O7I-based heterojunctions with potential application in water disinfection.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 863:160923.

Abstract
As an effective means to efficiently control the emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), photo-conversion of CO2 into solar fuels (or their precursors) is meaningful both as an option to generate cleaner energy and to alleviate global warming. In this regard, bismuth oxyhalide (BiOX, where X = Cl, Br, and I) semiconductors have sparked considerable interest due to their multiple merits (e.g., visible light-harvesting, efficient charge carriers separation, and excellent chemical stability). In this review, the fundamental aspects of BiOX-based photocatalysts are discussed in relation to their modification strategies and associated reduction mechanisms of CO2 to help expand their applicabilities. In this context, their performance is also evaluated in terms of the key performance metrics (e.g., quantum efficiency (QE), space-time yield (STY), and figure of merit (FoM)). Accordingly, the morphology design of BiOX materials is turned out as one of the most efficient strategies for the maximum yield of CO while the introduction of heterojunctions into BiOX materials was more suitable for CH4 formation. As such, the adoption of the proper modification approach is recommended for efficient conversion of CO2.

Abstract
Bismuth-based nanostructures (BBNs) have attracted extensive research attention due to their tremendous development in the fields of photocatalysis and electro-catalysis. BBNs are considered potential photocatalysts because of their easily tuned electronic properties by changing their chemical composition, surface morphology, crystal structure, and band energies. However, their photocatalytic performance is not satisfactory yet, which limits their use in practical applications. To date, the charge carrier behavior of surface-engineered bismuth-based nanostructured photocatalysts has been under study to harness abundant solar energy for pollutant degradation and water splitting. Therefore, in this review, photocatalytic concepts and surface engineering for improving charge transport and the separation of available photocatalysts are first introduced. Afterward, the different strategies mainly implemented for the improvement of the photocatalytic activity are considered, including different synthetic approaches, the engineering of nanostructures, the influence of phase structure, and the active species produced from heterojunctions. Photocatalytic enhancement via the surface plasmon resonance effect is also examined and the photocatalytic performance of the bismuth-based photocatalytic mechanism is elucidated and discussed in detail, considering the different semiconductor junctions. Based on recent reports, current challenges and future directions for designing and developing bismuth-based nanostructured photocatalysts for enhanced photoactivity and stability are summarized.

Abstract
Photocatalytic solar energy transformation is the most encouraging solution to alleviate the environmental crisis and energy scarcity. Bismuth oxyhalide (BiOX) is an emerging class of materials that exhibits photocatalytic properties, such as resilient response to light, which causes enhanced energy conversion (solar energy) owing to their exceptional layered structure and attractive band structure. The present review presents a summary of results from the recent developments on the tuning and design of BiOX-based materials to improve the energy conversion. In particular, the preparation and tuning approaches that have the potential to enhance the photocatalytic behavior of BiOX and some other techniques, such as elemental doping, are addressed, which prevent the rapid recombination of charges, and formation of oxygen vacancies, facilitating an improvement in the photocatalytic reaction. Various frameworks are also presented, displaying the significance of BiOX-based nanocomposites. Finally, the main challenges and opportunities associated with the future progress of BiOX-based materials are presented. This review will provide an extended understanding and offer a preferred direction for the innovative design of BiOX-based materials for environmental and especially energy-based applications.

Abstract
Semiconductor-based photocatalysis has been identified as an encouraging approach for solving the two main challenging problems, viz., remedying our polluted environment and the generation of sustainable chemical energy. Stoichiometric and non-stoichiometric bismuth oxyhalides (BiOX and BixOyXz where X = Cl, Br, and I) are a relatively new class of semiconductors that have attracted considerable interest for photocatalysis applications due to attributes, viz., high stability, suitable band structure, modifiable energy bandgap and two-dimensional layered structure capable of generating an internal electric field. Recently, the construction of heterojunction photocatalysts, especially 2D/2D systems, has convincingly drawn momentous attention practicably owing to the productive influence of having two dissimilar layered semiconductors in face-to-face contact with each other. This review has systematically summarized the recent progress on the 2D/2D heterojunction constructed between BiOX/BixOyXz with graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4). The band structure of individual components, various fabrication methods, different strategies developed for improving the photocatalytic performance and their applications in the degradation of various organic contaminants, hydrogen (H2) evolution, carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction, nitrogen (N2) fixation and the organic synthesis of clean chemicals are summarized. The perspectives and plausible opportunities for developing high performance BiOX/BixOyXz-g-C3N4 heterojunction photocatalysts are also discussed.

Abstract
Solar energy has been used for decades for the direct production of electricity in various industries and devices; however, harnessing and storing this energy in the form of chemical bonds has emerged as a promising alternative to fossil fuel combustion. The common feedstocks for producing such solar fuels are carbon dioxide and water, yet only the photoconversion of carbon dioxide presents the opportunity to generate liquid fuels capable of integrating into our existing infrastructure, while simultaneously removing atmospheric greenhouse gas pollution. This review presents recent advances in photochemical solar fuel production technology. Although efforts in this field have created an incredible number of methods to convert carbon dioxide into gaseous and liquid fuels, these can generally be classified under one of four categories based on how incident sunlight is utilised: solar concentration for thermoconversion (Category 1), transformation toward electroconversion (Category 2), natural photosynthesis for bioconversion (Category 3), and artificial photosynthesis for direct photoconversion (Category 4). Select examples of developments within each of these categories is presented, showing the state-of-the-art in the use of carbon dioxide as a suitable feedstock for solar fuel production. Solar energy has been used for decades for the direct production of electricity in various industries and devices.

Abstract
Photocatalytic CO2 conversion into solar fuels is an effective means for simultaneously solving both the greenhouse effect and energy crisis. In the past ten years, bismuth-based photocatalysts for environmental remediation have experienced a golden period of development. However, solar photocatalytic CO2 conversion has only been developed over the past five years and, until now, no reviews have been published on bismuth-based photocatalysts for the photocatalytic conversion of CO2 . For the first time, solar photocatalytic CO2 conversion systems are reviewed herein. Synthetic methods and photocatalytic CO2 performances of bismuth-based photocatalysts, including Sillén-structured BiOX (X=Cl, Br, I); Aurivillius-structured Bi2 MO6 (M=Mo, W); and Scheelite-structured BiVO4 , Bi2 S3 , BiYO3 , and BiOIO3 , are summarized. In addition, activity-enhancing strategies for this photocatalyst family, including oxygen vacancies, bismuth-rich strategy, facet control, conventional type II heterojunction, Z-scheme heterojunction, and cocatalyst deposition, are reviewed. Finally, the main mechanistic research methods, such as in situ FTIR spectroscopy and theoretical calculations, are presented. Challenges and research trends reported in studies of bismuth-based photocatalysts for photocatalytic CO2 conversion are discussed and summarized.

Abstract
Bismuth oxyhalide (Bi-O-X) is a group of layered semiconductors, which are promising candidates for photocatalysis due to their inherent internal electric field and adjustable band gap through composition and morphology control. Bismuth-rich Bi-O-X has improved stability and advantageous band structure compared to those of Bi-O-X and hence has attracted an increasing amount of research interest. In this work, ultrathin nanotubes of Bi5O7I with a 5 nm diameter and a 1 nm wall are obtained through a hydrothermal method while the phase and morphology of the products are regulated by the pH values and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) concentration of the reaction system, of which the products can be tuned from BiOI nanosheets to Bi5O7I nanobelts and ultrathin Bi5O7I nanotubes. PVP and pH control is important to the formation of the nanotubes as formation occurs via a PVP-guided oriented attachment from primary nanoparticles of Bi5O7I. The poorly crystalline and porous structure of the resultant bismuth-rich ultrathin nanotubes not only exposes more surface atoms but also exhibits a highly reduced conduction band minimum. The resultant band gap of 2.39 eV (as compared to 3.20 eV for the nanobelts) arises from the undercoordinated bismuth centers brought about by the rich oxygen vacancies in the nanotubes. The largely reduced band gap effectively enhances visible-light absorption, while the short charge-diffusion length of the nanotubes further reduces the charge-carrier loss in recombination.

Abstract
Unearthing an ideal model to describe the role of defect sites for boosting photocatalytic CO2 reduction is rational and necessary, but it still remains a significant challenge. Herein, oxygen vacancies are introduced on the surface of Bi24 O31 Cl10 photocatalyst (Bi24 O31 Cl10 -OV) for fine-tuning the photocatalytic efficiency. The formation of oxygen vacancies leads to a new donor level near the conduction band minimum, which enables a faster charge transfer and higher carrier density. Moreover, oxygen vacancies can considerably reduce the energy for the formation of COOH* intermediates during CO2 conversion. As a result, the activity of Bi24 O31 Cl10 -OV for selective photoreduction of CO2 to CO is significantly improved, with a CO generation rate of 0.9 μmol h-1 g-1 , which is nearly 4 times higher than that of pristine Bi24 O31 Cl10 . This study reinforces our understanding of defect engineering in Bi-based photocatalysts and underscores the potential importance of implanting oxygen vacancies as an effective strategy for solar energy conversion.

Abstract
Solar-energy-driven CO2 conversion into value-added chemical fuels holds great potential in renewable energy generation. However, the rapid recombination of charge carriers and deficient reactive sites, as two major obstacles, severely hampers the photocatalytic CO2 reduction activity. Herein, a desirable surface halogenation strategy to address the aforementioned concerns over a Sillén-related layer-structured photocatalyst Bi2 O2 (OH)(NO3 ) (BON) is demonstrated. The surface halogen ions that are anchored on the Bi atoms by replacing surface hydroxyls on the one hand facilitate the local charge separation, and, on the other hand, activate the hydroxyls that profoundly boost the adsorption of CO2 molecules and protons and facilitate the CO2 conversion process, as evidenced by experimental and theoretical results collectively. Among the three series of BON-X (X = Cl, Br, and I) catalysts, BON-Br shows the most substantially enhanced CO production rate (8.12 µmol g-1 h-1 ) without any sacrificial agents or cocatalysts, ≈73 times higher than that of pristine Bi2 O2 (OH)(NO3 ), also exceeding that of the state-of-the-art photocatalysts reported to date. This work presents a surface polarization protocol for engineering charge behavior and reactive sites to promote photocatalysis, which shows great promise to the future design of high-performance materials for clean energy production.

Abstract
Photocatalytic reduction of CO2 using solar energy to decrease CO2 emission is a promising clean renewable fuel production technology. Recently, Bi-based semiconductors with excellent photocatalytic activity and carbon-based carriers with large specific surface areas and strong CO2 adsorption capacity have attracted extensive attention. In this study, activated carbon spheres (ACSs) were obtained via carbonization and steam activation of phenolic resin-based carbon spheres at 850 °C synthesized by suspension polymerization. Then, the BiOBr/ACSs sample was successfully prepared via a simple impregnation method. The as-prepared samples were characterized by XRD, SEM, EDX, DRS, PL, EIS, XPS, BET, CO2 adsorption isotherm and CO2-TPD. The BiOBr and BiOBr/ACSs samples exhibited high CO selectivity for photocatalytic CO2 reduction, and BiOBr/ACSs achieved a rather higher photocatalytic activity (23.74 μmol g−1 h−1) than BiOBr (2.39 μmol g−1 h−1) under simulated sunlight irradiation. Moreover, the analysis of the obtained results indicates that in this photocatalyst system, due to their higher micropore surface area and larger micropore volume, ACSs provide enough physical adsorption sites for CO2 adsorption, and the intrinsic structure of ACSs can offer effective electron transfer ability for a fast and efficient separation of photo-induced electron–hole pairs. Finally, a possible enhanced photocatalytic mechanism of BiOBr/ACSs was investigated and proposed. Our findings should provide new and important research ideas for the construction of highly efficient photocatalyst systems for the reduction of CO2 to solar fuels and chemicals. Photocatalytic reduction of CO2 using solar energy to decrease CO2 emission is a promising clean renewable fuel production technology.![]()

Abstract
Exploration of the versatility of materials is very important for increasing the utilization of materials. Herein, we successfully prepared Bi4O5I2 powders via a facile solvothermal method. The Bi4O5I2 photocatalyst exhibited significantly higher photocatalytic activity as compared to the common BiOI photocatalyst in the degradation of methyl orange, methylene blue and rhodamine B under visible light irradiation. Especially, for the degradation of methyl orange, the photocatalytic activity of Bi4O5I2 is about 10 times that of BiOI. Moreover, Bi4O5I2 exhibits an extremely high second harmonic generation response of about 20 × KDP (the benchmark) estimated by the unbiased ab initio calculations. The coexisting multifunction of Bi4O5I2 is mainly because of the increased dipole moment due to the stereochemical activity of lone pairs that promotes separation and transfer of photogenerated carriers, then enhances the photocatalytic activity and results in a high second harmonic generation response. This indicates that Bi4O5I2 may have good potential applications in photocatalytic and nonlinear optical fields. Bi4O5I2 exhibits an extremely high second harmonic generation response and enhanced photocatalytic activity. The multifunction of Bi4O5I2 is mainly resulting from the dipole moment of the stereochemical activity of Bi 6s lone pairs.![]()

Abstract
Enhancing the adsorbability of the photocatalysts is an effective way to improve the photocatalytic performance. Herein, we firstly synthesized a novel Bi2NbO5F/rectorite (BF/R) composite photocatalyst with high adsorption capacity via the ultrasound assisted route. The X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS) analysis has demonstrated that the Bi2NbO5F and rectorite were connected with each other by weak chemical bonds. The introduced rectorite in the composite provided rich adsorption active sites for the adsorption of rhodamine B (RhB). The catalytic activity of the BF/R catalyst was evaluated by degrading RhB (5 mg/L) under UV-light irradiation. The BF/R composite with 32% rectorite exhibited the best photocatalytic degradation efficiency for degrading RhB in aqueous solution, which was 6.6 times higher than that of the bare BF sample. The improved activity of the BF/R composite can be ascribed to its strong adsorbability and enhanced light absorption. More importantly, the BF/R catalyst still showed good stability and high activity for degrading RhB after four recycles. Lastly, a possible photocatalytic mechanism on the BF/R composite was proposed. This work would provide helpful insights into the synthesis of the clay combined with Bi-based adjustable structure materials via ultrasound method.

Abstract
Bismuth oxybromide/oxyiodide (Bi4O5BrxI2-x) photocatalysts were successfully fabricated using a facile homogeneous precipitation method at room temperature. The obtained Bi4O5BrxI2-x demonstrated highly enhanced visible-light performances compared with Bi4O5Br2 and Bi4O5I2. The poducts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The DRS analysis shows that the band gap structures of Bi4O5BrxI2-x have been gradually modulated by changing the Br/I molar ratio. The obtained Bi4O5BrxI2-x samples have exhibited efficient photocatalytic activities in decomposing resorcinol, o-phenylphenol, and 4-tert-butylphenol. The Br/I molar ratio has great influence on the activity of the photocatalysts, and Bi4O5Br0.6I1.4 exhibited the best activity which was about 2.77 and 1.80 times higher than that of Bi4O5Br2 and Bi4O5I2, respectively. The degradation intermediates were identified by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LCMS), and the possible degradation pathway of resorcinol over Bi4O5BrxI2-x photocatalysts was proposed. The strong visible light absorption, high charge separation efficiency, and proper band potentials should be responsible for the excellent activity of Bi4O5BrxI2-x photocatalyst. Trapping experiments using radical scavengers confirmed the generation of O2-, OH, and h+, but only O2- and h+ have played the chief role in removing organic pollutants from water.

[PMID: 29752595 PMCID: PMC5948192 DOI: 10.1186/s11671-018-2558-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2018] [Accepted: 04/29/2018] [Indexed: 05/20/2023]
Abstract
The novel SrTiO3/Bi5O7I nanocomposites were successfully fabricated by a thermal decomposition approach. The as-prepared samples were characterized by XRD, XPS, SEM, EDS, FTIR, DRS and PL spectra. The results show that the SrTiO3/Bi5O7I nanocomposites are composed of perovskite SrTiO3 nanoparticles and tetragonal Bi5O7I nanorods. The SrTiO3/Bi5O7I nanocomposites exhibit an excellent photocatalytic performance for the degradation of RhB solution under simulated solar light irradiation, which is superior to that of pristine Bi5O7I and SrTiO3. In particular, the 30 wt% SrTiO3/Bi5O7I nanocomposite is found as the optimal composites, over which the dye degradation reaches 89.6% for 150 min of photocatalysis. The photocatalytic degradation rate of the 30 wt% SrTiO3/Bi5O7I nanocomposite is found to be 3.97 times and 12.5 times higher than that of bare Bi5O7I and SrTiO3, respectively. The reactive species trapping experiments suggest that [Formula: see text] and holes are the main active species responsible for the RhB degradation. In addition, the PL spectra elucidate the effective separation of photoinduced electron-hole pairs. Further, the possible photocatalytic mechanism of the SrTiO3/Bi5O7I nanocomposites is also elucidated based on the experimental evidences.

Three-dimensional Ag 2O/Bi 5O 7I p-n heterojunction photocatalyst harnessing UV-vis-NIR broad spectrum for photodegradation of organic pollutants. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2018; 344:42-54. [PMID: 29031093 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2017.10.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 60] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2017] [Revised: 10/06/2017] [Accepted: 10/07/2017] [Indexed: 05/07/2023]
Abstract
Ag2O nanoparticles-loaded Bi5O7I microspheres forming a three dimensional Ag2O/Bi5O7I p-n heterojunction photocatalyst with wide-spectrum response were synthesized in this study. The results of transmission electron microscopy observations revealed that the Ag2O nanoparticles with the diameter of ca. 10-20nm were distributed on the surfaces of Bi5O7I nanosheets. The as-synthesized Ag2O/Bi5O7I exhibited an excellent wide-spectrum response to wavelengths ranging from ultraviolet (UV) to near-infrared (NIR), indicating its potential for effective utilization of solar energy. Compared with pure Bi5O7I, the Ag2O/Bi5O7I composite also demonstrated excellent photocatalytic activity for the degradation of Bisphenol A and phenol in aqueous solution under visible LED light irradiation. Among samples, the 20% Ag2O/Bi5O7I composite photocatalyst showed the highest photocatalytic activity for the degradation of Bisphenol A and phenol in aqueous solution. In addition, the 20% Ag2O/Bi5O7I composite also exhibited a photocatalytic activity for the degradation of Bisphenol A under NIR light irradiation. The improved photocatalytic activity is attributed to the formation of a p-n heterojunction between Ag2O and Bi5O7I, allowing the efficient utilization of solar energy (from UV to NIR) and high separation efficiency of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. The present work is desirable to explore a possible avenue for the full utilization of solar energy.

Abstract
Bismuth-rich bismuth oxyhalides (Bi-O-X; X = Cl, Br, I) display high photocatalytic reduction activity due to the promoting conduction band potential. In this work, two Bi5O7I nanosheets with different dominant facets were synthesized using either molecular precursor hydrolysis or calcination. Crystal structure characterizations, included X-ray diffraction patterns (XRD), field emission electron microscopy and fast Fourier transformation (FFT) images, showed that hydrolysis and calcination resulted in the dominant exposure of {100} and {001} facets, respectively. Photocatalytic data revealed that Bi5O7I-001 had a higher activity than Bi5O7I-100 for N2 fixation and dye degradation. Photoelectrochemical data revealed that Bi5O7I-001 had higher photoinduced carrier separation efficiency than Bi5O7I-100. The band structure analysis also used to explain the underlying photocatalytic mechanism based on the different conduction band position. This work presents the first report about the facet-dependent photocatalytic performance of bismuth-rich Bi-O-X photocatalysts.
