The hydrothermal synthesis of BiOBr flakes for visible-light-responsive photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange
Open accessAbstract
Flake-like BiOBr semiconductors have been prepared using hydrothermal synthesis with meticulous control of synthesis parameters and used for photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange. XRD, SEM and UV-vis characterizations have been performed to study the obtained BiOBr materials. The results indicate that the morphology and crystallite size of BiOBr depend significantly on the temperature and duration of the hydrothermal syntheses. Diffuse UV-vis spectra show the BiOBr materials to be indirect semiconductors with an optical bandgap of approximately 2.92 eV, which is essentially unaffected by the synthesis parameters. The hydrothermal-synthesized BiOBr flakes exhibit noticeable activity for photodegradation of methyl orange under visible light (>400 nm) illumination, with the BiOBr synthesized by hydrothermal treatment at 120 degrees C for 6 h exhibiting superior photocatalytic performance in these flakes. The excellent activity and photo-stability reveal that BiOBr is a promising visible-light-responsive photocatalyst. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
