Abstract

A series of magnetic recyclable bismuth oxyiodide (BiOI)/polyacrylic anion exchange resin (PAER) composites with visible light responses have been synthesized for the first time through a facile and low-cost method at normal temperature. The photocatalytic performances of BiOI/PAER composites were evaluated by photodegrading 1-amino-8-naphthol-3,6-disulfonic acid under visible light. It was found that 1-amino-8-naphthol-3,6-disulfonic acid (H-acid) removal rate reached to 90.1% (BiOI/PAER-2), which was higher than the pure BiOI (50.3%) in 60min. The enhanced photocatalytic performance of BiOI/PAER composites should be attributed to the improved separation efficiency of the charge carriers. Furthermore, the BiOI/PAER composites exhibited excellent cyclinic utilization stability, which is a key factor for their potential practical applications.

Bismuth

See more Bismuth products. Bismuth (atomic symbol: Bi, atomic number: 83) is a Block P, Group 15, Period 6 element with an atomic radius of 208.98040. The number of electrons in each of Bismuth's shells is 2, 8, 18, 32, 18, 5 and its electron configuration is [Xe] 4f14 5d10 6s2 6p3. Bismuth Bohr ModelThe bismuth atom has a radius of 156 pm and a Van der Waals radius of 207 pm. In its elemental form, bismuth is a silvery white brittle metal. Bismuth is the most diamagnetic of all metals and, with the exception of mercury, its thermal conductivity is lower than any other metal. Elemental BismuthBismuth has a high electrical resistance, and has the highest Hall Effect of any metal (i.e., greatest increase in electrical resistance when placed in a magnetic field). Bismuth is found in bismuthinite and bismite. It is also produced as a byproduct of lead, copper, tin, molybdenum and tungsten extraction. Bismuth was first discovered by Early Man. The name Bismuth originates from the German word 'wissmuth,' meaning white mass.

Iodine

The number of electrons in each of Iodine's shells is 2, 8, 18, 18, 7 and its electron configuration is [Kr] 4d10 5s2 5p5. The iodine atom has a radius of 140 pm and a Van der Waals radius of 198 pm. In its elemental form, iodine has a lustrous metallic gray appearance as a solid and a violet appearance as a gas or liquid solution. Elemental IodineIodine forms compounds with many elements, but is less active than the other halogens. It dissolves readily in chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, or carbon disulfide. Iodine compounds are important in organic chemistry and very useful in the field of medicine. Iodine was discovered and first isolated by Bernard Courtois in 1811. The name Iodine is derived from the Greek word "iodes" meaning violet.
