Facile preparation of ultrathin Bi2MoO6 nanosheets for photocatalytic oxidation of toluene to benzaldehyde under visible light irradiation

Bi2MoO6 nanosheets different in thickness were facilely prepared by hydrothermal and solvothermal methods. The thinner of the nanosheets the higher activity for selective oxidation of toluene to benzaldehyde in the presence of O2 and under visible light irradiation was achieved.119
