Noble Metal-Like Behavior of Plasmonic Bi Particles as a Cocatalyst Deposited on (BiO)₂CO₃ Microspheres for Efficient Visible Light Photocatalysis

Novel plasmonic Bi nanoparticles deposited in situ in (BiO)2CO3 microspheres (Bi/BOC) were fabricated via a one-pot hydrothermal treatment of bismuth citrate, sodium carbonate, and thiourea. Different characterization techniques, including XRD, SEM, TEM, XPS, UV–vis DRS, PL, time-resolved fluorescen... View More
