The prepared heterojunctions are characterized with X-ray diffraction,field emission scanning electron microscopy,transmission electron microscopy,ultra violet-diffuse reflectance spectroscopy,and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Upon visible-light irradiation(λ 420 nm),the β-Bi2O3/BiO I heterojunctions,especially with the molar ratio of HI to β-Bi2O3 at 0.4,exhibit much higher photocatalytic activity than pure β-Bi2O3 and BiO I for the degradation of methyl orange. The efficient separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs across the interface of the heterojunction between β-Bi2O3 and BiO I would be responsible for the enhanced photocatalytic performances.展开更多

The results showed that 8% SDS-BiOI microspheres possessed the homogeneous morphology, larger specific surface area and more oxygen vacancies compared with the pure BiOl. Moreover, the adsorption efficiency of rhodamine B (RhB) and methyl orange (MO) for 8% SDS-BiOI reached almost 96.4% and 79.4%, respectively. It was found that the oxygen vacancy induced by SDS improved adsorption performance of BiOI due to the enhanced electrostatic interaction.展开更多
