Preparation of novel protonated forms of the ion-exchangeable layered perovskite via selective reaching of bismuth oxide sheets and their application to photocatalytic activities

Photocatalytic activities of the protonated forms of ion-exchangeable layered perovskites.Weinvestigated the photocatalytic activities of the Aurivillius phases bi_2 ananb_3o_ <12> （A=Ca or）Sr, bi_2 canata_3o_12 and the protonated forms of ion-exchangeable layered perovskite prepared from这些Aurivillius phases通过选择leaching of bismuth oxide sheets by acid treatment. .Photocatalytic activities were estimated based on h_2 evolution behavior from aqueous ethanolsolutions (containing 20% ethanol) under UV irradiation. Aurivillius phases showed no activities for2 h evolution,while the protonated forms exhibited the photocatalytic activities. UV-Vis diffuse reflectanceespectra indicated that selective leaching of bismuth oxide sheets led to the change in electricstructure. XRD patterns of the protonated forms after h_2进化showed the increase in theinterlayer动漫歌曲,indicating the effective use of the interlayer space during h_2 evolution. Therefore，the difference i…More the photocatalytic activity behavior between the Aurivillius phases and the protonatedforms is attributable to the change in the position of the bottom of the conduction bands and/orthe increases in surface area caused by the selective leaching of bismuth oxide sheets.Preparationnovel double-layered tungstic acid. we conducted acid treatment of an Aurivillius phase，开封府_ 2 w 2 o译文:9,whose structure was similar to that of ion-exchangeable layered perovskite. XRD，ICP和TG analyses作为一个TEM observation showed the selective leaching of the bismuth oxide sheets，indicating the formation of the novel tungstic acid, h_2 w_2o_7, nh_2o，which could potentially exhibit the photocatalytic activition . reaction of the protonated forms oflayered perovskite and alcohols.Since the n-alcohol is generally used as a sacrificial reagentphotocatalytic h_2 evolution from water，we investigated the interaction between the protonated forms of ion-exchangeable layered perovskitehca_2nb_2o_ <10> / xh_2o and n-alcohol. The reaction of hca_2nb_2o <10> / xh_2o with n-alcohols led tothe formation of alkoxy-derivatives of ca_2nb_2o_ <10> / xh_2o . to achieve high photocatalyticactivities,我们explored the new pillaring method using organic derivatives of layered perovskite. When weconducted the reaction of ch_2 =CH(ch_2) _no - derivatives (n=3,8) of hlanb_2o_7·xh_2o withhydrochlorosilanes and oligosiloxanes，XRD,IR and NMR analyses showed the occurrence of hydrosilylation in the interlayer space，indicating that hydrosily lation is utilizable for pillaring.

Photocatalytic activities were estimated based on H_2 evolution behavior from aqueous ethanol solutions (containing 20% ethanol) under UV irradiation. Aurivillius phases showed no activities for H_2 evolution, while the protonated forms exhibited the photocatalytic activities. UV-Vis diffuse reflectancee spectra indicated that selective leaching of bismuth oxide sheets led to the change in electric structure. XRD patterns of the protonated forms after H_2 evolution showed the increase in the interlayer distance, indicating the effective use of the interlayer space during H_2 evolution.
