Visible-Light-Active Iodide-Doped BiOBr Coatings for Sustainable Infrastructure.

ABSTRACT: The search for efficient materials for sustainable infrastructure is an urgent challenge toward potential negative emission technologies and the global environmental crisis. Pleasant, efficient sunlight-activated coatings for applications in self-cleaning windows are sought in the glass industry, particularly those produced from scalable technologies. The current work presents visible-light-active iodide-doped BiOBr thin films fabricated using aerosol-assisted chemical vapor deposition. The impact of dopant concentration on the structural, morphological, and optical properties was studied systematically. The photocatalytic properties of the parent materials and as-deposited doped films were evaluated using the smart ink test. An optimized material was identified as containing 2.7 atom % io
