Facet Engineering of Bismuth Molybdate via Confined Growth in a Nanoscale Template toward Water Remediation

Certain nanomaterials can filter and alter unwanted compounds due to a high surface area, surface reactivity, and microporous structure. Herein, γ-Bi2MoO6 particles are synthesized via a colloidal hydrothermal approach using organically modified Laponite as a template. This organically modified Laponite interlayer serves as a template promoting the growth of the bismuth molybdate crystals in the [010] direction to result in hybrid...
