Summary, etc. |
<p>Bi<sub>2</sub>WO<sub>6</sub> photocatalysts were synthesized via hydrothermal process and solid-state reaction techniques. The results revealed that Bi<sub>2</sub>WO<sub>6</sub> prepared via hydrothermal route were composed of numerous square nanoplates, and Bi<sub>2</sub>WO<sub>6</sub> prepared via solid-state route were just irregular broken pieces of the material. The photocatalytic activity of both the Bi<sub>2</sub>WO<sub>6</sub> samples prepared via two different techniques under Xe lamp of 300W was evaluated for degradation Rhodamine B (RHB) and Methylene blue (MB). The hydrothermally prepared Bi<sub>2</sub>WO<sub>6</sub> nanoplates exhibited better photocatalytic activity. Nearly 56% of RHB and 53% of MB were degraded within 40mins respectively, which was three times better than the Bi<sub>2</sub>WO<sub>6</sub> synthesized by solid-state reaction. The better photocatalytic performance can be credited to the geometry, porosity, and the higher surface area of the hydrothermally prepared Bi<sub>2</sub>WO<sub>6 </sub>photocatalyst.</p> |
