Abstract:

In order to improve photocalytic property and enhance magnetism of BiFeO3(BFO), nano-sized Bi0.95Ho0.05FeO3(BHFO) particles were prepared through thermal decomposition of coordination precursor at 500 ℃. The material obtained was characterized by X-ray diffractometer(XRD), Fourier transfom infrared(FT-IR) spectrometer, dynamic reflectance spectrometer(DRS), vibrating sample magnetometer(VSM), and Zeta potential analyser. It exhibits rhombohedral R3c phase with a band gap of 1.90 eV, and its magnetism is 5 times stronger than BFO. With methyl orange(MO) as the degradation model, the influence factors on photocatalytic activity of BHFO was found to be affected by the oxidization and acid-base property of anions. At last, BHFO exhibits good photocatalytic stability and can be recovered by magnetical separation.
