Synthesis, Characterization and Photocatalytic Activity of BiOCI Nanomaterials

Article Preview

Abstract:

BiOCl with 3D flower-like morphology was synthesized via a facile glycerol-mediated solvothermal method. The obtained products were well crystallized and subsequently characterized by a range of methods, such as X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), selected area electron diffraction (SAED). The photocatalytic properties of the prepared samples were further investigated by photocatalytic decomposition of Methyl Orange (MO) dye. It is found that BiOCl hierarchical nanostructures exhibit efficient photocatalytic activities under UV light irradiation, which can decompose MO in a few minutes.
