Crystal facet engineering of polar single crystal BiOCl with improved piezo-photocatalytic activity

Zi Qing Li et al.

Summary: It is challenging to synthesizes catalysts with controllable crystal planes for enhancing the piezoelectric-photocatalytic activity. This study successfully synthesized BiOCl with selectively exposed (001) or (101) crystal planes using a hydrothermal method, and investigated their degradation properties under photocatalysis, piezoelectric catalysis and piezoelectric photocatalysis. It was found that the enrichment of reducing active centers plays a more important role than small-plane charge separation in the process of piezoelectric photocatalysis. BiOCl with highly exposed (001) planes showed enhanced activity due to its narrow bandgap and high charge separation efficiency under ultrasonic action.

Piezo-ferroelectric response of bismuth ferrite based thin films and their related photo/piezocatalytic performance

Vasile Tiron et al.

Summary: Bismuth ferrite thin films were grown using RF magnetron sputtering under different conditions, and their microstructure, phase evolution, optic, ferroelectric, and magnetic properties were investigated. The films exhibited different phases and structures depending on the substrate temperature, gas pressure, and Ar:O2 mass flow ratio. The films deposited at 600 degrees C showed the presence of Bi2Fe4O9 and Bi25FeO40 phases. Increasing the gas pressure improved the crystallinity, but high pressures resulted in amorphous films. Low O2 to Ar mass flow ratio during deposition led to phase transformations. The film deposited at 700 degrees C, Ar:O2 ratio 3:1 and total gas pressure 1 Pa demonstrated excellent ferroelectric properties and outstanding piezo-response.

Efficient photocatalytic water disinfection by a novel BP/BiOBr S-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst

Kangning Zhang et al.

Summary: Due to the increasing threat of pathogenic microorganisms, there is an urgent need for the development of high-performance photocatalysts for efficient water disinfection. In this study, an S-scheme heterojunction of black phosphorus and bismuth oxybromide (BP/BiOBr) was designed using a simple exfoliation strategy. The 0.75% BP/BiOBr exhibited excellent photocatalytic disinfection activity, achieving a 7 log reduction of E. coli cells in just 7.5 minutes under visible-light illumination, which was twice as high as pure BiOBr. Similar performance was observed for tap water and river water under real sunlight. The enhanced disinfection efficiency of BP/BiOBr was attributed to the increased production of superoxide and hydroxyl radicals due to the S-scheme heterojunction formation. These radicals damaged the bacterial cell membranes, leading to their death. This research provides insights into the design and application of S-scheme heterojunction photocatalysts for water disinfection.
