Enhancing dichromate transport and reduction via electric fields induced by photocatalysis by Chen Chen, Siyu Zhao, Bingming Zhou, Changqing Ye, Baojiang Jiang, Liping Zhang

“…This study examines the role of mass transport using the model system of monoclinic bismuth vanadate (BiVO4) films and potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) in a representative photocatalytic reaction. We show that diffusion-driven delivery of K2Cr2O7 to the BiVO4 surface increases adsorption capacity but decreases the adsorption rate constant. …”
