Preparation of Bismuth-Lanthanum Composite Oxide and its Photocatalytic Performance

Article Preview

Abstract:

Bi-La composite oxide was prepared by thermal decomposition of molecular precursor of BiLa(dtpa)(NO3)•3.5H2O (dtpa=Diethylene triaminepentaacetic). The effect of calcinated temperature on structure was discussed by X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The photocatalytic performance of samples prepared was discussed through the degradation of methyl orange. The results show that Bi-La composite oxide prepared at 500°C exhibits the best photocatalytic activity for the degradation of methyl orange (20mg/L) and the optimum amount of photocatalyst is 1.0 g/L.
