New Type Photocatalyst PbBiO₂Cl: Materials Design and Experimental Validation

A new kind of nanostructured photocatalyst, PbBiO₂Cl is synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method. The proposed formation mechanism of PbBiO₂Cl is carried out by analyzing the XRD patterns and SEM images of the products prepared under different conditions. The PbBiO₂Cl nanostructure behaves as a truncated bipyramid, exposed with {002} and {103} facets. Moreover, theoretical calculation and absorption spectrum indicate the PbBiO₂Cl shows strong absorption in the visible region with a band gap of 2.53 eV. The obtained PbBiO₂Cl nanostructures exhibit significantly enhanced photocatalytic activity on degradation of methyl orange (MO) and 4-chlorophonel (4-CP). This work may offer a paradigm on designing and synthesizing visible photocatalyst exposed with reactive facets, which can be applied in many fields

The Design of TiO₂ Nanostructures (Nanoparticle, Nanotube, and Nanosheet) and Their Photocatalytic Activity

Density functional theory (DFT) calculation is carried out to access the band structure and density of states (DOS) based on the models of TiO₂ nanoparticle, nanotube, and nanosheet, predicting the order of the photocatalytic activity for three different nanostructures. Sol–gel method and hydrothermal method are used to achieve desired morphologies: nanoparticles, nanotubes, and nanosheets (fragmentized nanotubes). The photocatalytic activity ranks in the order of nanosheets > nanotubes > nanoparticles, which is consistent with theoretical prediction. It was revealed that the enlargement of band gap is caused by the quantum confinement effect; the prolonged lifetime of photogenerated electrons and increased specific surface areas are dependent on the morphology of the nanostructure. All these factors contribute to the improvement of the photocatalytic activity for nanostructures. Our results can guide the design and selection of low-dimensional nanomaterials with desired morphology and improved photoelectric functional properties, which can be used in many fields, such as solar cells, photocatalysis, and photosynthesis
