Abstract:

The hierarchical structure of flabellate Bi₂Mo_0.5W_0.5O₆ solid solution has been successfully synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method in the presence of a surfactant of PEG6000. The as-synthesized products are composed of nanosheets with similar orthorhombic Aurivillius layered structures. The flabellate Bi₂Mo_0.5W_0.5O₆ solid solution has an average length of 4~5μmand width of 3~4μm and is composed of oblong nanosheets which has a length of several hundred nanometers, a width of ~600nm and a thickness of ~50nm. FT-IR spectra suggest that PEG6000 plays a vital role in the formation process of the flabellate Bi₂Mo_0.5W_0.5O₆ hierarchical structures. UV-vis spectra indicate that the flabellate Bi₂Mo_0.5W_0.5O₆ solid solution possessed photo absorption properties in the visible light region. The flabellate Bi₂Mo_0.5W_0.5O₆ solid solution exhibits highly efficient visible-light-driven activity for degradation of Rhodamine-B (RhB) under the 500W Xe lamp light irradiation.
