Abstract

Semiconductor-based photocatalysis is of great potential for tackling the environmental pollution. Herein, a novel hierarchical heterostructure of Bi2O2CO3 micro-flowers in-situ decorated with Ag3VO4 nanoparticles was developed by a facile method. Various characterization techniques have been employed to study the physical and chemical property of the novel catalyst. The novel catalyst was utilized for the photocatalytic removal of industrial dyes (rhodamine B, methyl orange) and tetracycline antibiotic under visible-light irradiation. The results indicated that Ag3VO4/Bi2O2CO3 heterojunctions showed a remarkably enhanced activity, significantly higher than those of bare Ag3VO4, Bi2O2CO3, and the physical mixture of Ag3VO4 and Bi2O2CO3 samples. This could be ascribed to an enhanced visible-light harvesting capacity and effective separation of charge carriers by virtue of the construction of hierarchical Ag3VO4/Bi2O2CO3 heterojunction. Moreover, Ag3VO4/Bi2O2CO3 also possesses an excellent cycling stability. The outstanding performance of Ag3VO4/Bi2O2CO3 in removal of toxic pollutants indicates the potential of Ag3VO4/Bi2O2CO3 in real environmental remediation. Highlights Novel architectures of Ag3VO4 nanoparticles modified Bi2O2CO3 micro-flowers were constructed.Novel Ag3VO4/Bi2O2CO3 exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity and stability.Ag3VO4/Bi2O2CO3 heterojunctions significantly promote the charge separation.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 16. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 03 November 2020.
All research outputs
#2,222,097
of 24,712,008 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Chemistry
#102
of 6,545 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#45,287
of 334,621 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Chemistry
#3
of 168 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,712,008 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 91st percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 6,545 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.2. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 98% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 334,621 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 86% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 168 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 98% of its contemporaries.
