Copper-doped Bi2MoO6 with concurrent oxygen vacancies for enhanced CO2 photoreduction

Inorg. Chem. Front., 2024, 11,8003-8015
DOI: 10.1039/D4QI02005G, Research Article
Jiawei Liu, Xin Liu, Chunhui Dai, Chao Zeng, Sajjad Ali, Mohamed Bououdina, Yushuai Jia
Bi2MoO6 catalysts doped by monovalence Cu with self-adapting O vacancies (Ov) are prepared. The optimal Bi2MoO6–10% Cu exhibits an outstanding CO evolution rate of 11.40 μmol g−1 h−1, about 6 times higher than that of Bi2MoO6 (1.94 μmol g−1 h−1).
