Ultrasonic-Assisted Conversion of Micrometer-Sized BiI₃ into BiOI Nanoflakes for Photocatalytic Applications.

ABSTRACT: This work describes a novel method for converting bismuth triiodide (BiI₃) microplates into bismuth oxyiodide (BiOI) nanoflakes under ultrasonic irradiation. To produce BiOI nanoflakes with a high yield and high purity, the conversion process was carefully adjusted. Rapid reaction kinetics and increased mass transfer are benefits of the ultrasonic-assisted approach that result in well-defined converted BiOI nanostructures with superior characteristics. The produced BiOI nanoflakes were examined utilizing a range of analytical methods, such as Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The progress in the ultrasonic conversion process with time was monitored through diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). The outcomes d
