Abstract:
Orthorhombic Bi2SiO5 nanosheets with thicknesses of 10-20 nm were first synthesized by a template-free hydrothermal synthesis process using Bi(NO3)3 and different Si sources as raw materials. The as-prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area analysis, UV-vls diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and a photoluminescence technique with terephthalic acid. The results showed that different precursors led to samples with different morphologies, particle sizes, and BET surface areas. As a novel photocatalyst, the photocatalytic performances of Bi2SiO5 samples were evaluated by the photocatalytic degradation of salicylic add and gaseous benzene. The results revealed that the sample obtained from Na 2SiO3 as a precursor exhibited higher activity than that from (C2H5O)4Si due to its biscuit-like morphology, a smaller particle size, and a higher BET surface areas. © 2009 American Chemical Society.
