Enhanced photocatalytic benzyl alcohol oxidation over Bi4Ti3O12 ultrathin nanosheets

Mingchuang Shen et al.

Summary: Ultrathin Bi4Ti3O12 nanosheets with a thickness of about 3.9 nm were successfully synthesized and used as a photocatalyst for the oxidation of benzyl alcohol. The nanosheets exhibited a photocatalytic performance about 8 times higher than that of bulk Bi4Ti3O12. The enhanced performance was attributed to the presence of more surface Lewis acid sites for adsorption and activation of benzyl alcohol, as well as the efficient utilization of photogenerated electrons and holes to produce radicals.
