Kumar M, Vaish R, Sung TH, Kumar A, Yousef ES. Mechanochemical Synthesis of Bi 2VO 5.5 for Improved Photocatalytic Dye Degradation. GLOBAL CHALLENGES (HOBOKEN, NJ) 2023; 7:2200172. [PMID: 37020623 PMCID: PMC10069314 DOI: 10.1002/gch2.202200172] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2022] [Revised: 12/09/2022] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
A single-phase Bi2VO5.5 powder is formed effectively through a mechanochemical ball milling approach at 650 °C in 5 h and its photocatalytic performance on methylene blue dye is explored. X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy analytical instruments are utilized to confirm the phase formation. The evident presence of irregular-shaped grains is affirmed using a scanning electron microscope. To ascertain the chemical condition of the components present, the Bi2VO5.5 powdered sample undergo an X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy investigation. The sample is analyzed using a time-dependent photocurrent to discern its charge carrier transportation behavior. A photocatalytic study using Bi2VO5.5 powder produced through the mechanochemical ball milling method has not been explored till now. The efficacy of the ball-milled Bi2VO5.5 powder to attain enhanced photocatalytic efficiency which hasn't been investigated till now, is explored. The ball-milled Bi2VO5.5 sample achieved 70% degradation efficiency when performing the photocatalysis investigation. The photocatalytic dye degradation discerns pseudo-first-order kinetics and achieves a notable k value of 0.00636 min-1. The scavenger test indicates that h+ radicals are the prominent active species during the photocatalysis experiment. The germination index is determined by conducting a phytotoxicity test with the use of Vigna radiata seeds. Here ball-milled Bi2VO5.5 powder attains enhanced dye degradation efficiency.

Green and controllable synthesis of one-dimensional Bi 2O 3/BiOI heterojunction for highly efficient visible-light-driven photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI). CHEMOSPHERE 2020; 257:127210. [PMID: 32502738 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2020.127210] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2019] [Revised: 05/13/2020] [Accepted: 05/23/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
BiOI nanosheets have been successfully deposited on the porous Bi2O3 nanorobs via a one-pot precipitation method. The physicochemical features of the as-prepared materials were characterized in detail by a series of techniques, and the results revealed that BiOI nanosheets were evenly distributed on the porous Bi2O3 nanorobs. Because of higher photogenerated electron-hole pairs separation efficiency and the larger specific surface area compared to the pristine Bi2O3 and BiOI, the 50%Bi2O3/BiOI composite exhibited significantly enhanced photocatalytic activity for Cr(VI) reduction under visible light irradiation, and the reduction rate constant was 0.02002 min-1, which was about 27.4 and 2.6 times higher than that of pure Bi2O3 (0.00073 min-1) and BiOI (0.00769 min-1), respectively. Moreover, the 50%Bi2O3/BiOI composite also possessed the excellent photochemical stability and recyclability, thereby facilitating its wastewater treatment application.

Innovative multifunctional hybrid photoelectrode design based on a ternary heterojunction with super-enhanced efficiency for artificial photosynthesis. Sci Rep 2020; 10:10669.

Abstract
Electrochemical cells for direct conversion of solar energy to electricity (or hydrogen) are one of the most sustainable solutions to meet the increasing worldwide energy demands. In this report, a novel and highly-efficient ternary heterojunction-structured Bi4O7/Bi3.33(VO4)2O2/Bi46V8O89 photoelectrode is presented. It is demonstrated that the combination of an inversion layer, induced by holes (or electrons) at the interface of the semiconducting Bi3.33(VO4)2O2 and Bi46V8O89 components, and the rectifying contact between the Bi4O7 and Bi3.33(VO4)2O2 phases acting afterward as a conventional p-n junction, creates an adjustable virtual p-n-p or n-p-n junction due to self-polarization in the ion-conducting Bi46V8O89 constituent. This design approach led to anodic and cathodic photocurrent densities of + 38.41 mA cm-2 (+ 0.76 VRHE) and- 2.48 mA cm-2 (0 VRHE), respectively. Accordingly, first, this heterojunction can be used either as photoanode or as photocathode with great performance for artificial photosynthesis, noting, second, that the anodic response reveals exceptionally high: more than 300% superior to excellent values previously reported in the literature.

Abstract
Z-scheme heterojunction can not only promote the separation of photogenerated carriers, but also retain the strong redox potential of the system, which would greatly improve the photocatalytic performance of catalyst. Herein, a Z-scheme AgI/Bi4V2O11 heterojunction photocatalyst was prepared by a hydrothermal process combined with in situ coprecipitation process. Multiple techniques were employed to investigate the morphology, composition, chemical and electronic properties of the as-prepared samples. The obtained Z-scheme AgI/Bi4V2O11 heterojunction photocatalyst exhibited remarkably enhanced photocatalytic performance towards sulfamethazine (SMZ) degradation under visible light irradiation. Especially, the 20 wt% AgI/Bi4V2O11 composites exhibited the highest photocatalytic activity for sulfamethazine (SMZ) degradation and 91.47% SMZ would be eliminated within 60 min. In comparison with NO3- and SO42-, the presence of Cl- and HCO3- presented more obviously inhibition effects on SMZ degradation. The possible degradation pathways of SMZ were speculated by identifying degradation intermediates. O2-, h+ and OH all involved in the photocatalytic degradation SMZ. The highly enhanced photocatalytic performance might be attributed to form Z-scheme junction between AgI and BVO, which are conducive to the efficient charges separation and maintain high redox potential. This work enriches Bi4V2O11-based Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalytic system and provides a reference for the preparation of effective Z-scheme junction photocatalysts.
