The Hydrothermal Synthesis of β-ZnMoO4 for UV or Visible-Light-Responsive Photocatalytic Dedradation of Victoria Blue R

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study, hydrothermal reaction with Na2MoO4 and Zn(NO3)2 as a precursor were investigated for the synthesis of β-ZnMoO4. The β-ZnMoO4 were characterized by the X-ray diffractometer (XRD), electron microscopy with the field emission scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (FE-SEM-EDS), high resolution X-ray photoelectron spectrometry (HR-XPS), UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectrometry (UV-DRS), and Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR). Diffuse UV-vis spectra show the β-ZnMoO4 materials to be indirect semiconductors with an optical bandgap of 2.48-2.64 eV. The photocatalytic efficiencies of powder suspensions were evaluated by measuring the Victoria Blue R (VBR) concentration. This is the first reveal that excellent activities of β-ZnMoO4 are a promising visible-light-responsive photocatalyst.
