What is it about?

In this work, Bi2Sn2O7 nanoparticles were controllably synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method. The influence of defects on the photocatalytic decomposition of methylene blue was studied. More importantly, the C3N4-hybridized Bi2Sn2O7 photocatalyst was investigated for the first time as a robust visible-light photocatalyst with improved performance.

In this work, Bi2Sn2O7 nanoparticles were controllably synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method. The influence of defects on the photocatalytic decomposition of methylene blue was studied. More importantly, the C3N4-hybridized Bi2Sn2O7 photocatalyst was investigated for the first time as a robust visible-light photocatalyst with improved performance. The characterization and photocatalytic activity of C3N4/Bi2Sn2O7 photocatalysts as well as the mechanism of enhanced photocatalytic activity were investigated in detail.
