Facile fabrication of micro-floriated AgBr/Bi 2 O 3 as highly efficient visible-light photocatalyst
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Semiconductor with photocatalytic property is the potential solution to solve the problem about water pollution. Novel floriated AgBr/Bi 2 O 3 fabricated through a facile simple two-step hydrothermal method is an efficient photocatalyst. The eminent performance for degradation of methyl orange (MO) was evaluated under visible light irradiation. Many characterization methods, including XPS, XRD, FT-IR, SEM, TEM and UV–vis diffuse reflection spectroscopy, were used to investigate the structure, elemental composition, morphology and catalytic activity. Broad contact between AgBr and Bi 2 O 3 interface enabled hybrid materials possess superior efficiency for the decomposition of MO under visible light irradiation. The optimum photocatalytic activity of samples was approximately 11.7 times higher than pure Bi 2 O 3 . In addition, the photo-generated reactive species were identified based on free radicals trapping experiments, which revealed that superoxide radical is the key factor to the photocatalytic process.
