Study on Characterization and Photocatalytic Properties of the Prepared Bismuth Phosphate

Abstract

With the two solvothermal and hydrothermal method, synthetize the bismuth phosphate catalyst with controllable morphology. And study the photocatalytic activity which use methylene blue and methylene orange as probe. By using X ray powder diffraction(XRD) and the scanning electron microscope(SEM) the products were characterized. Study found that glycerol content can affect the morphology and structure of bismuth phosphate. In the photocatalytic reaction, MB concentration will affect the rate of reaction, and the bismuth phosphate addition also significantly affect the MO reaction rate.
