Modification of Bi2WO6 containing oxygen vacancies with Au to promote selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol
Selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde by photocatalytic technology is important in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. Here, we prepared oxygen vacancy-containing Bi2WO6 (Bi2WO6-Ov) as a precursor by hydrothermal method, and prepared 2 wt% Au/Bi2WO6-Ov by sodium borohydride reduction method. 2 wt% Au/Bi2WO6-Ov dramatically upgraded the photocatalytic performance (The conversion of benzyl alcohol was 93.8 %) by utilizing the oxygen vacancy and the low loading of Au, which is nearly 10 times higher than that of conventional Bi2WO6-Ov. A series of characterization results (XRD, XPS, UV–vis DRS, PL, SEM, TEM, etc.), combined with DFT calculations, revealed that benzyl alcohol was well adsorbed on Au NPs (nanoparticles) as an acidic site, and the oxygen vacancies acted as an electron bridge and acted as Lewis bases. The electrons were transferred from the surface of Bi2WO6-Ov to Au, upgrading the electron-hole separation efficiency, which raised the ability of benzyl alcohol oxidation. Based on the above experiments and DFT calculations, a possible mechanism is proposed.
