1. A method of forming a bismuth-based catalyst, comprising:
a) mixing an inorganic alkali compound, a bismuth source compound, a transition metal precursor, and a reducing agent in an aqueous solution to form a bismuth precursor liquid, wherein one or more of
i. the bismuth source compound is one or more of bismuth nitrate, bismuth hydroxide, bismuth acetate, or hydrate thereof,
ii. the transition metal precursor is one or more of tetrabutyl titanate (C16H36O4Ti), titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4), tantalum pentoxide (Ta2O5) and niobium pentoxide (Nb2O5), and
iii. the reducing agent is one or more of hydrated hydrazine (H6N2O), sodium borohydride (NaBH4), glucose (C6H12O6), and ascorbic acid (C6H8O6); and
b) hydrothermally reacting the bismuth precursor liquid at a conversion temperature for a conversion time to produce the bismuth-based catalyst.
