S-scheme photocatalyst Bi2O3/TiO2 nanofiber with improved photocatalytic performance

doi:10.1016/j.jmst.2020.03.027

Abstract

Abstract:

In this study, a hierarchical Bi₂O₃/TiO₂ fibrous composite was in-situ fabricated on an electrospun TiO₂ nanofiber at ambient temperature. In the Bi₂O₃/TiO₂ composite, S-scheme electron migration occurred between Bi₂O₃ and TiO₂. In the photocatalytic degradation of phenol under simulated sunlight, the as-prepared Bi₂O₃/TiO₂ nanofibers considerably outperformed Bi₂O₃ nanoparticles and TiO₂ nanofibers. This improvement is contributed by maintaining and effectively utilizing the useful carriers and consuming the useless holes and electrons, realized by the S-scheme heterojunction and hierarchical structure. This study also provides an alternative design fashion for photocatalysts.

Key words: Electrospinning, Bismuth, Fiber, In-situ synthesis
