Self-assembly of dandelion-like Fe3O4@C@BiOCl magnetic nanocomposites with excellent solar-driven photocatalytic properties
Source abstract
Abstract
A dandelion-like Fe3O4@C@BiOCl magnetic nanocomposites have been successfully synthesized through a self-assembly solvothermal process. The as-prepared photocatalyst was characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The photocatalytic activity was evaluated on the degradation of rhodamine B under simulated solar light irradiation. It was found that the catalyst exhibited excellent photocatalytic performance with superior stability and reusability in recycling, furthermore, it could be easily recovered by applying an external magnetic field, indicating highly potential applications to avoid secondary pollution in water treatment.
