Synthesis and photocatalysis performances of bismuth oxynitrate photocatalysts with layered structures
Literature Information
Y. Zhu
A new type of layered oxy-acid salt of bismuth oxynitrate was synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method. The obtained bismuth oxy-nitrates consist of a Bi2O22+ layered module inserted into the interlamellar anion modules of NO3− and OH−. Varying amounts of NO3− and OH− complexes on the surface of the bismuth oxynitrate were also obtained by adjusting the precursor pH before hydrothermal treatment. It was found that the sample prepared with the precursor pH = 5.00 presented the highest photocatalytic activity, with a rate constant of 0.05 min−1, which is 2 and 6.7 times higher than those presented by the samples with the precursor pH = 7.00 and 1.22, respectively. The largest cathodic to anodic photocurrent switching was also presented by the sample with the precursor pH = 5.00, which can be reasonably attributed to NO3− complexes on the surface of the bismuth oxynitrate. The NO3− complexes could efficiently migrate the photo-induced holes to the surface of the semiconductor.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
