Ultrathin-nanosheet-assembled Bi2MoO6 mesoporous hollow framework for realizing optimized sunlight-driven photocatalytic water oxidation

Abstract

Herein, a Bi₂MoO₆ mesoporous hollow framework composed of atomically-thin nanosheets was fabricated for the first time using a one-step solvothermal route. The novel mesoporous hollow structure and ultrathin subunits simultaneously endow the as-prepared catalyst with robust light harvesting ability, excellent charge separation efficiency and abundant surface active sites, leading to improved photocatalytic performance for water oxidation.
