Issue Date: | 2014 | Journal: | Journal of Materials Chemistry A | Abstract: | A novel method for preparation of BiFeO3 films via a simple solution-based CVD method is reported using for the first time a single-source heterobimetallic precursor [CpFe(CO)2BiCl2]. BiFeO 3 films display ferroelectric and ferromagnetic ordering at room temperature and possess direct band-gaps between 2.0 and 2.2 eV. Photocatalytic testing for water oxidation revealed high activities under UVA (365 nm) and simulated solar irradiation, superior to that exhibited by a commercial standard (Pilkington Activ® TiO2 film) resulting in an apparent quantum yield of ∼24%. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10553/121469 | ISBN: | 20507488 20507496 | ISSN: | 2050-7488 | DOI: | 10.1039/c3ta14824f | Source: | Journal of Materials Chemistry A [ISSN 2050-7488], v. 2(9), p. 2922-2927 |
