The controllable fabrication of a novel hierarchical nanosheet-assembled Bi2MoO6 hollow micronbox with ultra-high surface area for excellent solar to chemical energy conversion

Abstract

Herein, we demonstrated for the first time the fabrication of a novel nanosheet-assembled Bi₂MoO₆ micronbox via a simple one-step method. In particular, this new Bi₂MoO₆ framework structure with ultra-large surface area can endow the sample with strong light harvesting ability and abundant surface active sites and it exhibits remarkably enhanced photocatalytic activity toward organic dye degradation and nitrogen fixation under solar-light irradiation, far exceeding that of conventional Bi₂MoO₆ with a different structure.
