Synthesis and Enhanced Light Photocatalytic Activity of Modulating Band BiOBr<sub>X</sub>I<sub>1−X</sub> Nanosheets
description The photocatalysis technique has been proven to be a promising method to solve environmental pollution in situations of energy shortage, and has been intensively investigated in the field of pollutant degradation. In this work, a band structure-controlled solid solution of BiOBr<sub>X</sub>I<sub>1−X</sub> (x = 0.00, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20, 1.00) with highly efficient light-driven photocatalytic activities was successfully synthesized via simple solvothermal methods. The phase composition, crystal structure, morphology, internal molecular vibration, optical properties, and energy band structure were characterized and analyzed by XRD, SEM, HRTEM, XPS, Raman, and UV Vis DRS. To evaluate the photocatalytic activity of BiOBr<sub>X</sub>I<sub>1−X</sub>, rhodamine B was selected as an organic pollutant. In particular, BiOBr<sub>0.15</sub>I<sub>0.85</sub> displayed significantly enhanced photocatalytic activity by virtue of modulating the energy band position, optimizing redox potentials, and accelerating carrier separation. Moreover, the enhancement mechanism was elucidated on the basis of band structure engineering, which provides ideas for the design of highly active photocatalysts for practical application in the fields of environmental issues and energy conservation.
