Abstract
Defect engineering is an efficient strategy to address piezoelectric-catalyzed degradation, but metal cation defects introduced in crystals have rarely been reported, owing to the formation of cationic defects requiring higher energy than that of anionic defects. Herein, Bi vacancy-induced Bi2O2S (BOS) nanosheets were synthesized for the piezoelectric-catalyzed degradation of organic dyes and antibiotic, utilizing a low-temperature solid-state reduction method with the help of NaBH4 for the first time. Astonishingly, Bi2O2S (BOS-4) with a large number of Bi vacancies exhibited an impressive 95.69 % degradation rate for rhodamine B (RhB) under ultrasound, approximately three times higher than that achieved by BOS. Additionally, BOS-4 also effectively degrades other dyes as well. This phenomenon is mainly ascribed to reduced band gap and facilitated the generation of charges by the introduced Bi vacancies, which can attract negative charges move in a definite direction and promote effective charge separation, thereby improving piezocatalytic efficiency.
期刊介绍:
Materials Research Bulletin is an international journal reporting high-impact research on processing-structure-property relationships in functional materials and nanomaterials with interesting electronic, magnetic, optical, thermal, mechanical or catalytic properties. Papers purely on thermodynamics or theoretical calculations (e.g., density functional theory) do not fall within the scope of the journal unless they also demonstrate a clear link to physical properties. Topics covered include functional materials (e.g., dielectrics, pyroelectrics, piezoelectrics, ferroelectrics, relaxors, thermoelectrics, etc.); electrochemistry and solid-state ionics (e.g., photovoltaics, batteries, sensors, and fuel cells); nanomaterials, graphene, and nanocomposites; luminescence and photocatalysis; crystal-structure and defect-structure analysis; novel electronics; non-crystalline solids; flexible electronics; protein-material interactions; and polymeric ion-exchange membranes.
