The pivotal effects of oxygen vacancy on Bi2MoO6: Promoted visible light photocatalytic activity and reaction mechanism

Abstract

Abstract:

Bi₂MoO₆, a typical Bi-based photocatalyst, has received increasing interests and been widely applied in various fields. However, the visible light photocatalytic activity of Bi₂MoO₆ is still restricted by some obstacles, such as limited photo-response and low charge separation efficiency. In this work, we developed a facile method to introduce artificial oxygen vacancy into Bi₂MoO₆ microspheres, which could effectively address these problems and realize highly efficient visible light photocatalysis. The experimental and theoretical methods were combined to explore the effects of oxygen vacancy on the electronic structure, photocatalytic activity and the reaction mechanism toward NO removal. The results showed that the addition of NaBH₄ during catalyst preparation induced the formation of oxygen vacancy in Bi₂MoO₆, which plays a significant role in extending the visible light absorption of Bi₂MoO₆. The visible light photocatalytic activity of Bi₂MoO₆ with oxygen vacancy was obviously enhanced with a NO removal ratio of 43.5%, in contrast to that of 25.0% with the pristine Bi₂MoO₆. This can be attributed to the oxygen vacancy that creates a defect energy level in the band gap of Bi₂MoO₆, thus facilitating the charge separation and transfer processes. Hence, more reactive radicals were generated and participated in the photocatalytic NO oxidation reaction. The in situ FT-IR was used to dynamically monitor the photocatalytic NO oxidation process. The reaction intermediates were observed and the adsorption-reaction mechanism was proposed. It was found that the reaction mechanism was unchanged by introducing the oxygen vacancy in Bi₂MoO₆. This work could provide new insights into the understanding of the oxygen vacancy in photocatalysis and gas-phase photocatalytic reaction mechanism.

Key words: Oxygen vacancy, Photocatalysis, Reaction mechanism, In situ FT-IR, NO removal
