Abstract:Photocatalysis has been drawing significant research attention because of its extensive applications in fields such as environmental remediation and renewable energy. In this work, we design a series of BiFe1‐xZnxO3 (x=0, 0.025, 0.05, 0.075, and 0.1) photocatalysts to reveal the photocatalytic mechanism for model Acid Red‐85, a stable textile dye. The bandgap energy of zinc – doped BiFeO3 is ranging from 2.138 to 2.2 eV. We have shown that changing the Fe/Zn ratio by bandgap engineering effectively controls th… Show more
