ABSTRACT
Bi2MoO6 was one of the important bismuth-based semiconductors with a narrow bandgap, and has been widely used in selective oxidation catalysts, supercapacitors, and energy-storage devices. A series of Bi2MoO6/ZnO composite photocatalysts with different mass ratios were synthesized by the hydrothermal method. The synthesized samples were characterized by XRD, PL, UV-Vis, SEM, TEM, XPS, and BET analysis techniques. Under visible light conditions, Methylene blue (MB) was used as the target degradation product to evaluate its photocatalytic performance. The results showed that the degradation rate constant of Bi2MoO6/ZnO (0.4-BZO) was about twice that of the traditional photocatalysis of ZnO. The Bi2MoO6/ZnO composite catalyst maintained stable performance after four consecutive runs. The high photocatalytic activity of Bi2MoO6/ZnO was attributed to the efficient electron transport of the heterojunction, which accelerates the separation of electron-hole pairs and reduces the probability of carrier recombination near the Bi2MoO6/ZnO heterojunction. Bi2MoO6/ZnO nanocomposites have potential applications in the field of photodegradation.
ABSTRACT
In the crystal structure of the title compound, C6H8N3O2 (+)·C6H2N3O7 (-)·H2O, N-Hâ¯O and O-Hâ¯O hydrogen bonds link the components into a two-dimensional network parallel to (010). In addition, there are pairs of weak inversion-related C-Hâ¯O hydrogen bonds within the two-dimensional network. The three nitro groups are twisted by 1.6â (3), 7.8â (3) and 12.1â (3)° from the ring plane in the anion, while in the cation, the nitro group makes a dihedral angle of 4.6â (2)° with the ring.
ABSTRACT
In the title compound, [ZnCl(2)(C(20)H(20)N(2))], the Zn(II) atom is four coordinated in a distorted tetra-hedral geometry by two N atoms of the Schiff base ligand and by two Cl atoms. Edge-to-face C-Hâ¯π inter-actions exist between mol-ecules, with a dihedral angle of 37.8â (1)° between the benzene ring planes and a shortest Hâ¯centroid distance of 3.62â (5)â Å.
