PG - 28264-28272 LID - 10.1021/acsami.0c06892 [doi] AB - It is a great challenge for achieving efficiently controllable conversion of chlorinated organics through BiVO(4)-based photoelectrochemical methods by improving the selective adsorption of such organics and charge separation. Herein, we have successfully fabricated SnO(2)/010 facet-exposed BiVO(4) nanocomposites by a series of hydrothermal processes and further used as efficient photoanodes. The resulting photoanode exhibits about 6.3 times higher photoelectrochemical activity than bulk-BiVO(4), especially with the efficiently controllable conversion of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) to the nontoxic valuable intermediates such as catechol and pyrogallol by preferential dechlorination. Based on the 2,4-DCP adsorption curves, in situ diffuse reflectance infrared spectra, transient-state surface photovoltage responses, and photocurrent action spectra, it was clearly confirmed that the exceptional performance could be mainly attributed to the promoted selective adsorption of 2,4-DCP for efficiently modulating holes by the strong coordination interactions between -Cl with lone-pair electrons in 2,4-DCP and Bi- with empty orbits on (010) facet-exposed BiVO(4) nanoflakes and to the coupled nano-SnO(2) for prolonging the charge lifetime of BiVO(4) by acting as the high-energy-level electron-accepting platform. This work provides a feasible strategy to develop excellent BiVO(4)-based photoelectrochemical methods for efficiently controlling the conversion of chlorinated organics simultaneously with energy production and recovery.
