Self organized bismuth oxide nanofibre layer as an efficient photocatalyst

Title : Self organized bismuth oxide nanofibre layer as an efficient photocatalyst

Abstract:

Metal oxide-based electro catalysts are promising alternatives to other conventional materials used for waste water splitting due to their low cost, abundant raw materials, and impressive stability. In the present work we demonstrated that Bi_xO_x-1 nanofiber layers and some electroactive dopants possess excellent photocatalytic properties that are significantly enhanced compared to other conventional materials. This research is tailored for hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions, discussing their crystal structure, composition, and surface morphology influence on performance. Strategies like surface engineering, doping, and nano-structuring are evaluated for enhancing catalytic activity and stability. The key considerations for ongoing research, innovation, and future scope to drive widespread adoption of water-splitting technology for a cleaner and sustainable future are highlighted.
