Solid-state fabrication of BiOBr/Bi24O31Br10 lattice heterojunction for photocatalytic reduction of CO2 and degradation of RhB
The contact degree of heterojunction plays a crucial role to the separating efficiency of photo-generated carriers. Herein, a nano-sheet like BiOBr/Bi 24 O 31 Br 10 lattice heterojunction is firstly prepared from a simple solid-state chemical reaction. The phase transformation from BiOBr to BiOBr/Bi...

and BiOBr, respectively. Meanwhile, the heterostructures present super photocatalytic degradation ability for rhodamine B (RhB) under visible light. The mechanism of the photocatalytic reduction and oxidation process is systematically investigated and proposed. This work provides an effective strategy to design staggered heterojunction photocatalyst by a solvent-free method and reveals the mechanism of lattice heterostructure for boosting photocatalytic performance.
