"New visible-light-driven Bi2MoO6/Cs3Sb2Br9 heterostructure for selecti" by Sujitra Wongthep, Prayoonsak Pluengphon et al.
Herein, new Bi2MoO6/Cs3Sb2Br9 heterostructure (BiMo/CSB) was investigated for the first time as a visible-light-driven photocatalyst for C(sp3)–H bond activation using molecular oxygen as a green oxidant and toluene as a model substrate. The optimized BiMo/CSB photocatalyst exhibited enhanced toluene oxidation activity (2,346 μmol g-1h−1), which was almost two- and five-fold that of pristine CSB (1,165 μmol g-1h−1) and BiMo (482 μmol g-1h−1), respectively. The improved photocatalytic performance was essentially attributed to the formation of staggered band energy lineup in the BiMo/...
