There is an increasing interest in bismuth carbonate (Bi₂O₂CO₃, BOC) as a semiconductor photocatalyst. However, pure BOC strongly absorbs ultraviolet light, which drives a high recombination rate of charge carriers and thereby limits the overall photocatalysis efficiency. In this work, artificial oxygen vacancies (OV) were introduced into BOC (OV-BOC) to broaden the optical absorption range, increase the charge separation efficiency, and activate the reactants. The photocatalytic removal ratio of NO was increased significantly from 10.0% for pure BOC to 50.2% for OV-BOC because of the multiple roles played by the oxygen vacancies. These results imply that oxygen vacancies can facilitate the electron exchange between intermediates and the surface oxygen vacancies in OV-BOC, making them more easily destroyed by active radicals. In situ DRIFTS spectra in combination with electron spin resonance spectra and density functional theory calculations enabled unraveling of the conversion pathway for the photocatalytic NO oxidation on OV-BOC. It was found that oxygen vacancies could increase the production of active radicals and promote the transformation of NO into target products instead of toxic byproducts (NO₂), thus the selectivity is significantly enhanced. This work provides a new strategy for enhancing photocatalytic activity and selectivity.
