Self-Assembled Hierarchical Bi2WO6 Microspheres for Effective Photocatalytic Cr(VI) Reduction and H2 Evolution

Article Preview

Abstract:

Self-assembled hierarchical Bi2WO6 microsphere was synthesized via a facile hydrothermal method. The fabricated Bi2WO6 exhibited up to 85.3% Cr(VI) reduction efficacy which was much greater than that of commercially available P25 TiO2 nanoparticles. Furthermore, Bi2WO6 microsphere also produced about 1.5-fold greater H2 quantity in water splitting compared to P25 TiO2. The photocatalytic enhancement of Bi2WO6 microsphere was ascribed to its unique hierarchical porous architecture and large surface area which can improve the charge carrier quantities for redox reactions. The present study could be useful for fabricating Bi2WO6 photocatalyst with improved performance in environmental remediation and renewable energy applications.
