Abstract

A promising visible-light driven photocatalyst Bi₂O₄ possess broadband spectral response range. Nevertheless, the speedy recombination of photogenerated e⁻/h⁺ pairs of bare Bi₂O₄ highly hampers its photocatalytic activities. An inverse spinel structure NiFe₂O4 has lesser photocatalytic activities but it owns ferromagnetic nature and virtuous chemical stability. These properties instigates to fabricate NiFe₂O₄/Bi₂O₄ composite. A series of NiFe₂O₄/Bi₂O₄ composites are obtained by distinct amount of NiFe₂O₄, via one-pot hydrothermal route. The optimized NiFe₂O₄/Bi₂O₄ nanocomposite contributed to an excellent photocatalytic degradation efficiency of 94 % for methylene blue (MB) under visible light irradiation after 60 min. The recycling experiment and radical trapping tests specified that the optimized NiFe₂O₄/Bi₂O₄ hybrid has highly stable and ensured the prominent capacity of the active species O₂^•− and ^•OH for photocatalytic degradation respectively. On the basis of above observations, a plausible mechanism of NiFe₂O₄/Bi₂O₄ composite towards the photocatalytic decomposition of MB under simulated VLI has been presented.

期刊介绍： Chemical Physics publishes experimental and theoretical papers on all aspects of chemical physics. In this journal, experiments are related to theory, and in turn theoretical papers are related to present or future experiments. Subjects covered include: spectroscopy and molecular structure, interacting systems, relaxation phenomena, biological systems, materials, fundamental problems in molecular reactivity, molecular quantum theory and statistical mechanics. Computational chemistry studies of routine character are not appropriate for this journal.
