Preparation BiTaO4 by Precipitation Method and its Visible-Light Photocatalytic Activity

Year: 2012

Type: article

Abstract: The single phase BiTaO4was synthesized using Ta2O5and Bi(NO3)3as main raw materials by precipitation process. The products were characterized by thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). The results show that BiTaO4was triclinic crystal with average particle size 100nm, and a band gap of about 2.77 eV. The photocatalytic experiment of BiTaO4shows the good photocatalytic activity for the decomposition of methylene blue under visible-light irradiation.
