Synthesis Route

In this paper, a facile two-step synthesis route combining an electrospinning technique and vapor transport deposition method has been accepted as a straightforward protocol for the exploitation of ZnO /carbon nanofibers (CNFs) hierarchical heterostructures which are composed of ZnO nanorods on the surface of CNFs. Photocatalytic tests display that the ZnO /CNFs heterostructures possess degrading Rhodamine B (RB) at a much higher rate than pure ZnO . The enhanced photocatalytic activity could be attributed to the effective separation of photogenerated carriers driven by the photoinduced potential difference, which is generated at the ZnO /CNFs heterojunction interface. Moreover, the heterostructures could be reclaimed easily by sedimentation without a decrease of the photocatalytic activity. Such simple and versatile strategy can provide a general way to fabricate other heterostructures, such as TiO 2/CNFs.

Light Absorber

Novel heterostructure BiOI/BiOIO3 nanocomposites were successfully prepared through a facile deposition method at room temperature. BiOIO3 is a noncentrosymmetric compound that has an internal self-built electric field. BiOI was applied as a visible light absorber to sensitize semiconductors owing to its smallest bandgap. The coupling between BiOIO3 and BiOI can combine their advantages and improve photocatalytic properties. Compared with the single BiOI and BiOIO3, the heterostructure BiOI/BiOIO3 nanocomposites displayed a significantly enhanced photocatalytic activity for the Rhodamine B (RhB) degradation. The enhanced photocatalytic performance is deduced closely related to the formation of BiOI/BiOIO3 heterojunction interface whose presence is regarded to be a favorable factor for the transfer and separation of the photogenerated electrons and holes.

A one-dimensional WO3–Bi2WO6 photocatalyst exhibits high photocatalytic activity for the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) under solar light irradiation, which is attributed to the effective separation of photogenerated electron–hole pairs by the staggered band potentials between WO3 and Bi2WO6.
