Abstract
Carbon dioxide anion radical (CO2•-) can act as a versatile single electron reductant, but its generation pathways are quite limited. Herein, we demonstrate that oxalic acid (OA) could be effectively and continuously utilized to produce CO2•- over Bi(C2O4)OH, a novel photocatalyst, under light irradiation. Bi(C2O4)OH would proceed with self-redox reactions under the light irradiation producing CO2•-, through the oxidation of C2O42-. OA in the solution could recoordinate with Bi3+, thus maintaining the structure of the photocatalysts and the stability of the reactions. Benefiting from the fast reaction between CO2•- and O2 in forming •O2-, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) would be efficiently produced (219.0 μmol/h). This study proposes a novel approach for harnessing OA containing wastewater and explores its potential application in the efficient production of H2O2.

Abstract
We report the grain growth from the nanoscale to microscale and a transformation sequence from Bi →β-Bi2O3→γ-Bi2O3→α-Bi2O3 with the increase of annealing temperature. The room temperature (RT) stabilization of β-Bi2O3 nanoparticles (NPs) was attributed to the effect of reduced surface energy due to adsorbed carbon species, and oxygen vacancy defects may have played a significant role in the RT stabilization of γ-Bi2O3 NPs. An enhanced red emission band was evident from all the samples attributed to oxygen-vacancy defects formed during the growth process in contrast with the observed white emission band from the air annealed Bi ingots. Based on our experimental findings, the air annealing induced oxidation of Bi NPs and transformation mechanism within various Bi2O3 nano-polymorphs are presented. The outcome of this study suggests that oxygen vacancy defects at the nanoscale play a significant role in both structural stabilization and phase transformation within various Bi2O3 nano-polymorphs, which is significant from theoretical consideration.
