Abstract: Cd-doped δ-Bi2O3 (Cd-δ-Bi2O3) were prepared by the alcoholic-hydrothermal method, and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and so on. The results showed that Cd-δ-Bi2O3 was assembled by 2D nanosheets. Cd in the form of Cd2+ was introduced in the lattice gap of δ-Bi2O3 and belonged to interstitial doping. Due to Cd doping, the band gap was decreased, the light-harvesting capability was enhanced, and the transmission and separation efficiency of carriers was improved. At room temperature and atmospheric pressure, the photocatalytic nitrogen fixation was investigated under visible light irradiation. The results showed that the photocatalytic nitrogen fixation rate of 6%Cd-δ-Bi2O3 with 3 h of light irradiation was 1.6 mmol·g-1·h-1·L-1, which was 10.67 times higher than that of δ-Bi2O3. The mechanism of photocatalytic N2 fixation was discussed by means of photocurrent and impedance. Doping Cd defect serves as the trap of photogenerated electrons, which delays the surface transfer of photogenerated electrons and enhances the chemisorption of target molecules.
