A phosphate-derived Bi catalyst (PD-Bi) that is rich in grain boundaries achieved high activity and selectivity towards the electroreduction of CO2 to HCOOH simultaneously.
Hierarchical structured n-BiPO4 microspheres were prepared and exhibited excellent activity for photocatalytic degradation of bisphenol A, phenol,
The as-formed BiPO4/Bi2O2CO3 heterojunction structure can facilitate interfacial charge transfer, thereby resulting in enhanced photocatalytic activity.
