Crystal-facet-controllable synthesis of Cu2O microcrystals, shape evolution and their comparative photocatalytic activity

Novel perovskite-like PbBiO2Cl materials with hollow and porous sphere-like structures were successfully synthesized using a polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) and 1-hexadecyl-3-methylimidazolium chlorine ([C16mim]Cl) complex system.

Potential Applications

In this work, CeO2 nanocrystal-decorated TiO2 nanobelt for forming a CeO2@TiO2 heterostructure. CeO2 plays a dual role in improving photocatalytic activity, not only by promoting the separation and transfer of photogenerated charge carriers, but also by increasing visible light absorption of the photocatalyst as a photosensitizer. The as-prepared CeO2@TiO2 heterostructure demonstrates the performance of organic degradation and H2 production (about 17 μmol/h/g, which is about 2.5 times higher than that of pure TiO2 nanobelts). Our work provides a facile and controllable synthesis method for high performance photocatalyst, which will have potential applications in synthesis clean/solar fuel, and photocatalytic water treatment.
