Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention provides a process for the preparation of bismuth oxyhalide, comprising a precipitation of bismuth oxyhalide in an acidic aqueous medium in the presence of a reducing agent. Also provided are bismuth oxyhalide compounds doped with elemental bismuth Bi (0) . The use of Bi (0) doped-bismuth oxyhalide as photocatalysts in water purification is also described.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. Bi (0) -doped bismuth oxyhalide, wherein the halide is chloride, bromide or mixed chloride-bromide, wherein the molar concentration of the Bi (0) dopant is from 0.1 to 7.0%, calculated relative to the total amount of trivalent and zerovalent bismuth. 2. Bi (0) -doped bismuth oxyhalide according to claim 1 , wherein the molar concentration of the Bi (0) dopant is from 0.1 to 5.0%. 3. Bi (0) -doped bismuth oxyhalide according to claim 1 , selected from the group consisting of Bi (0) doped-BiOCl, Bi (0) doped-BiOBr and Bi (0) doped-BiOCl y Br 1−y wherein y is in the range from 0.6 to 0.95. 4. Bi (0) -doped bismuth oxyhalide according to claim 3 , which is Bi (0) doped-BiOCl y Br 1−y wherein y is in the range from 0.7 to 0.95. 5. Bi (0) -doped bismuth oxyhalide according to claim 1 , characterized in that its X-ray photoelectron emission spectrum exhibits a peak at 157±1 eV which is assigned to metallic bismuth.
