A novel heterojunction photocatalyst of carbonized polymer dots (CPDs)/Bi/β-Bi2O3 is successfully synthesized via a one-pot solvothermal method by adjusting the reaction temperature and time. As a solvent and carbon source, ethylene glycol not only supports the conversion of Bi3+ to β-Bi2O3 but also...

Zusammenfassung:A novel heterojunction photocatalyst of carbonized polymer dots (CPDs)/Bi/β-Bi2O3 is successfully synthesized via a one-pot solvothermal method by adjusting the reaction temperature and time. As a solvent and carbon source, ethylene glycol not only supports the conversion of Bi3+ to β-Bi2O3 but also undergoes its polymerization, cross-linking, and carbonization to produce CPDs. In addition, partial Bi3+ is reduced to Bi by ethylene glycol. As a result, the CPDs and Bi are deposited in situ on the surface of β-Bi2O3 microspheres. There are four built-in electric fields in the CPDs/Bi/β-Bi2O3 system, namely, the n-type semiconductor β-Bi2O3/H2O interface, the p-type CPDs/H2O interface, the ohmic contact between Bi and β-Bi2O3, and the Schottky junction between Bi and CPDs. Under the action of four built-in electric fields, the Z-type charge separation mechanism is formed. It promotes the effective separation of the photogenerated electron-hole and greatly improves the yield of H2O2. Under irradiation for 2 h, the H2O2 production is 1590 μmol g-1 h-1. The solar energy to H2O2 conversion efficiency is 0.11%
