Photocatalysis using the visible light of the sun is an environmentally friendly method of eliminating the NOx pollutant from the ambient air. Although Cs3Bi2Br9, a semiconductor with a band gap of 2.54 eV, may be a strong absorber of visible light, its photocatalysis towards the abatement of NOx is unknown. In this study, Cs3Bi2-xPbxBr9-x (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.0789) are used for the photocatalytic oxidation of NOx. A significant NO oxidation efficiency (80%) is observed over Cs3Bi2-xPbxBr9-x (x = 0.0443) under visible light, which is attributable to the Br vacancy (VBr) brought about by Pb2+ doping. The presence of VBr increased the ionic selectivity of in the oxidized NO. At higher Pb doping level, two HONOs adsorbed on the VBr, linked, and then reduced by hot electrons to produce N2O22-. The di-azo coupling could passivate the activation of NO on the VBr. This work advances the defect engineering of halide for the photo-driving solid-gas reaction in air.
