Popis: Ultrathin structures have gained more and more attention due to their large surface area and abundant reactive sites, which are beneficial for the improvement of performances. Herein, we report an ultrathin Bi2MoO6 synthesized by a simple mannitol-assisted hydrothermal method for the first time. The as-synthesized ultrathin Bi2MoO6 exhibits highly selective adsorption efficiency toward various positively charged organic dyes. Moreover, the ultrathin Bi2MoO6 displays enhanced photocatalytic activity in comparison with pristine Bi2MoO6. Systematic photoelectrochemical measurements reveal that the higher separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers takes responsibility for the improved photocatalytic performance. This work provides a simple path for designing ultrathin nanoarchitectures and widening application for these ultrathin materials.
