For this purpose, we have designed a novel Bi quantum dots(QDs) implanted C-doped BiOCl photocatalyst(C/BOC/B) for NOx removal. The feasibility was firstly evaluated through density functional theory(DFT) calculations methods, which indicates that the enhanced photocatalytic performance could be expected owing to the synergistic effects of doped C heteroatoms and loaded Bi QDs. Then, the C/BOC/B was synthesized via a facile hydrothermal method and exhibited efficient and stable visible light photocatalytic NO removal. The results found that the doped C atoms can serve as electron guides to induce oriented charge transfer from Bi QDs to BiOCl, while the Bi QDs can act as light-capture and electron-donating sites. The reaction pathway and mechanism for NO conversion was unveiled by in situ Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy combined with DFT calculation. The enhanced adsorption of reactants and intermediates could promote the overall reaction efficiency and selectivity in photocatalytic NO conversion. This work could provide a new perspective on the mechanistic understanding of the synergistic effects toward non-metal doping and SPR effects in semiconductor photocatalysts, and this presented technique could be extended for other semiconductor materials.展开更多

The density of states (DOS), the total energy of the cell and the spontaneous magnetic moment of [C4N2H12][FeII (HP03)2 (C2 04)3] are calculated. The calculation results reveal that the low-temperature phase of [C4N2H12][FeII (HP03)2(C204)3] exhibits a stable ferromagnetic (FM) ground state, and we find that this organic compound is a half-metal in FM state. In addition, we have calculated antiferromagnetically coupled interactions, revealing the existence of antiferromagnetic (AFM), which is in agreement with the experiment. We have also found that [C4N2HI2][Fe4II (HP03)2(C204)3] is a semiconductor in the AFM state with a band gap of about 0.40 eV. Subsequently, the transport properties for potential thermoelectric applications have been studied in detail based on the Boltzmann transport theory.展开更多
