Synergistic photocatalytic NO removal of oxygen vacancies and metallic bismuth on Bi12TiO20 nanofibers under visible light irradiation

Tailoring the semiconductors with non-precious metals or defects have been demonstrated to be a fascinating and prospective approach for environmental remediation. In this work, Bi metal and oxygen vacancies (OVs) co-modified Bi12TiO20 nanofibers (Bi/BTO) photocatalysts were synthesized through electrospinning technique and subsequent chemical reduction method for the first time. The Bi/BTO composite photocatalysts exhibit significantly higher...
