The slow rate of oxygen evolution severely limits the overall water splitting, constructing oxygen vacancies on the surface of photocatalysts is an effective strategy in improving the performance of catalysts. However, the oxygen vacancies can be easily renovated by the adsorbed water and oxygen, then deactivating the catalysts. Herein, we synthesized a nanoflower BiOBr, which could produce continuously sufficient OVs induced by light during the photocatalytic water splitting, and investigated the effect of OVs concentration on the performance of photocatalytic O2 evolution. The results showed that the sustainable light-induced OVs could improve the transfer efficiency of photoinduced carriers and the light absorption capacity, which then cause a significant increase in reaction rates. The optimal oxygen evolution rate could reach 166μmol·g-1·h-1. This work provides a new way of constructing sustainable oxygen vacancies on the surface of catalysts toward photocatalytic water splitting. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 2,2′-Oxybis(ethan-1-ol) (cas: 111-46-6SDS of cas: 111-46-6).
2,2′-Oxybis(ethan-1-ol) (cas: 111-46-6) belongs to alcohols. The oxygen atom of the strongly polarized O―H bond of an alcohol pulls electron density away from the hydrogen atom. This polarized hydrogen, which bears a partial positive charge, can form a hydrogen bond with a pair of nonbonding electrons on another oxygen atom. Grignard and organolithium reagents are powerful tools for organic synthesis, and the most common products of their reactions are alcohols.SDS of cas: 111-46-6
