The nanorod-like α-Bi 2 O 3 have been synthesized from the microrod-like α-Bi 2 O 3 using g-C 3 N 4 as a template. The photocatalytic activity of α-Bi 2 O 3 is highly improved by nearly 800% in the oxidation of the gaseous IPA (isopropyl alcohol). The formation mechanism of the nanorod-like α-Bi 2 O...

Description
Summary:The nanorod-like α-Bi 2 O 3 have been synthesized from the microrod-like α-Bi 2 O 3 using g-C 3 N 4 as a template. The photocatalytic activity of α-Bi 2 O 3 is highly improved by nearly 800% in the oxidation of the gaseous IPA (isopropyl alcohol). The formation mechanism of the nanorod-like α-Bi 2 O 3 was further studied, and demonstrated to be the CO 2 corrosion effects. The nanorod-like α-Bi 2 O 3 have been synthesized from the microrod-like α-Bi 2 O 3 using g-C 3 N 4 as a template.
