Photo-induced self-catalysis of nano-Bi₂MoO₆ for solar energy harvesting and charge storage.

ABSTRACT: Efficient, sustainable, and integrated energy systems require the development of novel multifunctional materials to simultaneously achieve solar energy harvesting and charge storage. Bi-based oxysalt aurivillius phase materials are potential candidates due to their typical photovoltaic effect and their pseudo-capacitance charge storage behavior. Herein, we synthesized nano-Bi₂MoO₆ as a material for both solar energy harvesting and charge storage due to its suitable band gap for absorption of visible light and its well-defined faradaic redox reaction from Bi metal to Bi³⁺. The irradiation of visible light significantly affected the electrochemical processes and the dynamics of the Bi₂MoO₆ electrode. The photo-induced self-catalytic redo
