Abstract

The nanorod-like α-Bi₂O₃ have been synthesized from the microrod-like α-Bi₂O₃ using g-C₃N₄ as a template. The photocatalytic activity of α-Bi₂O₃ is highly improved by nearly 800% in the oxidation of the gaseous IPA (isopropyl alcohol). The formation mechanism of the nanorod-like α-Bi₂O₃ was further studied, and demonstrated to be the CO₂ corrosion effects.
