Polyaniline (PANI)-decorated Bi2MoO6 nanosheets (BMO/PANI) were prepared by a facile solvothermal method. Different characterization techniques, including X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, diffuse reflectance ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, photoluminescence spectroscopy, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, photocurrent spectroscopy, and nanosecond time-resolved emission studies, have been employed to investigate the structure, optical and electrical properties of the BMO/PANI composites. The wide absorption of the samples in the visible light region makes them suitable for nonlinear transmission and photocatalytic activity studies. The associated photocatalytic activity and optical nonlinearities for the BMO/PANI composites are shown to be dependent on the PANI loadings. The rational mechanisms responsible for deteriorating pollutants and improving optical nonlinearities were also proposed, which could be mainly attributed to the efficient interfacial charge transfer and the interfacial electronic interactions between PANI and Bi2MoO6. The photoluminescence spectroscopy, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and photocurrent spectroscopy studies confirmed that the interface charge separation efficiency was greatly improved by coupling Bi2MoO6 with PANI. The tuning of photocatalysis and nonlinear optical behaviors with variation in the content of PANI provides an easy way to attain tunable properties, which are exceedingly required in optoelectronics applications.

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.
