Article Abstract
In this work, we report an innovative method for synthesizing BiOI nanoplate powder by a slow basification of an aqueous solution constituted of Bi(NO) and KI. The basification was done with NH vapor which was naturally generated on top of an NHOH solution kept in a closed space. The impact of the basification rate on the morphology and crystallinity of the BiOI product was investigated. Herein, we also report on the use of newly produced BiOI nanoplate powder together with the VO(acac) precursor for fabricating BiVO photoanodes for solar driven water splitting applications. We also discuss how the morphology of BiOI nanoplates and their orientation on a fluorine doped tin oxide substrate will affect the morphology, topology and photocatalytic performance of the electrode. The BiVO photoanode showed a photocatalytic current density of 0.55 mA cm at 1.23 V the Reversible Hydrogen Electrode (RHE) when assayed in a pH 7 phosphate buffer electrolyte and under 1 sun illumination.

Bismuth-based electrocatalysts for carbon dioxide (CO) reduction are notable for their high formate selectivity, scalability, affordability, and low toxicity. Here, we introduced a facile spray pyrolysis method to fabricate catalyst-coated gas diffusion electrodes (GDE) in one step. Our study revealed that deposition temperatures significantly affected the morphology, crystal orientation, and impurity of bismuth oxyiodide (BiOI) nanoplates.

In order to extend the visible region activity of titania nanotube array (TNAs) films, the successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR)-ultrasonication-assisted method has been used to prepare BiOI-modified TiO nanotube arrays (BiOI/TNAs). The band gap of BiOI/TNAs for all the variations reveals absorption in the visible absorption. The surface morphology of BiOI/TNAs is shown in the nanoplate, nanoflake and nanosheet forms with a vertical orientation perpendicular to TiO.

Cathodic photoelectrochemistry, a research hotspot in state-of-art bioassays, is generally circumscribed by its monotonous signal transduction tactic of photoinduced electron transfer (PET) mechanism, which significantly narrows the scope of its applications. In this study, we reveal the surface oxygen vacancy (V) formation elicited by the spontaneous coordination of catechol (CA) onto the surface of BiOI nanoplates for the innovative operation of the cathodic PEC signal transduction tactic. The -generated V functions as a carrier separation center to efficiently promote photocurrent generation.

Electroreduction of carbon dioxide (CO) into formic acid/formate has been considered as one of the most promising strategies for obtaining value-added fuels and chemical productions. Herein, we present a general method for preparing Bi-based electrocatalysts via in situ reduction of bismuth oxyiodide (BiOI) in CO-saturated electrolyte. The precursors of BiOI nanoplates (P-nanoplates) with thickness of 30-40 nm could be easily obtained and provide a concise model to probe the mechanisms of CO reduction to formate.
