In this study, isostructural Sillen-Aurivillius oxyhalides (BFTOX) were fabricated and showed high photocatalytic activity for CO2 reduction and degradation of organic pollutants. Among them, BFTOCl exhibited the best performance. This work provides a reference for developing efficient and stable photocatalysts from Sillen-Aurivillius layered oxyhalide materials.
Developing efficient photocatalyst for the photoreduction of CO2 and degradation of organic pollutants is an effective alternative to address increasingly serious energy problems and environmental pollution. Herein, the isostructural Sillen-Aurivillius oxyhalides, Bi7Fe2Ti2O17X (X = Cl, Br, and I; BFTOX), are fabricated for CO2 reduction and degradation of organic pollutants for the first time. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations show that the valence band maximum (VBM) of BFTOC and BFTOB is contributed by the dispersive 2p orbitals of O-atoms, providing the narrow band gap (E-g) and possibly the stability against self-decomposition deactivation. The photocatalytic activities of BFTOX are strongly affected by the halogens (Cl, Br, and I), namely, the BFTOCl sample displays outstanding activity improvement (3.74 mu mol center dot g(-1)center dot h(-1)) for photocatalytic performance. This is mainly attributed to the high separation of charge carriers, small optical band gap, and extended optical absorption. This work focuses on affording a reference to develop efficient and stable photocatalysts from Sillen-Aurivillius layered oxyhalide materials.
