Bismuth Oxyhalides (eBook, ePUB)

Synthesis and photocatalytic applications

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Concerns about energy shortages and environmental pollution have risen to a high level around the world. Semiconductor photocatalysis is one of the most promising ways to address these issues. Extensive research has been published on the utilization of bismuth oxyhalides (BiOX) for the photocatalytic degradation of organic dyes in wastewater. These materials are also promising candidates for the production of hydrogen, reduction of carbon dioxide, and nitrogen fixation due to the high charge transfer ratio that can be achieved as a result of their crystallinity as well as the indirect band gaps that they possess.

This reference text covers the recent developments in the synthesis of BiOX and their applications in the production of energy and the purification of wastewater. The book begins with an overview of bismuth as well as bismuth oxyhalides and the fabrication process. It then reviews the state-of-the-art improvements in bismuth oxyhalides including elemental doping, surface modification and many others. Photocatalytic applications of bismuth oxyhalides along with their experimental and theoretical studies are discussed. The book also explores bismuth oxyhalides for wastewater treatment, and finally, the various issues and potential solutions that could help with the development of effective photocatalytic bismuth oxyhalides.
