Abstract

One-dimensional composite - nanowires were successfully fabricated by a simple microwave-assistant hydrothermal method. The successful fabrication of one-dimensional - nanowires can only be realized at pH value range of 1–5 of the starting solution. The fabricated nanowires were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectra (UV-Vis DRS), and photoluminescence (PL), respectively. The diameter of the nanowires varies from 30 to 100 nm; the length is a few micrometers. Methylene blue (MB) solutions were used to evaluate the visible light photocatalytic activities of the fabricated samples. Compared with , the fabricated - nanowires show enhanced efficiency in oxidization of MB under visible light.

Highlights

  • One-dimensional nanostructures with distinctive structures and properties play important roles in nanotechnology for their use as building blocks in nanoscale circuits, optoelectronic, electrochemical, and electromechanical devices [1, 2]

  • Bachas’s group has synthesized a new class of bimetallic nanotubes based on Pd/Fe and demonstrated their efficacy in the dechlorination of PCB 77 one-dimensional iron metal nanotubes of different diameters were prepared by electroless deposition within the pores of PVP-coated polycarbonate membranes using a simple technique under ambient conditions

  • The excellent electrochemical properties originated from the synergistic effect with improved electronic conductivity and dual lithium storage mechanism, demonstrating that the coaxial SnO2@TNT hybrid is a promising candidate for electrochemical energy storage [16]

Summary

Introduction

One-dimensional nanostructures with distinctive structures and properties play important roles in nanotechnology for their use as building blocks in nanoscale circuits, optoelectronic, electrochemical, and electromechanical devices [1, 2]. Upon connection of Bi2CrO6 to Bi2O3 nanowires, a unique semiconductor—semiconductor nanoscale contact can be prepared, which shows different properties from Bi2O3. Compared with Bi2O3, the Bi2O3-Bi2CrO6 nanowires show enhanced efficiency in photodegradation of methylic blue under visible light.
