Abstract:A facile co-precipitation method followed by thermal treatment was used to prepare Bi2O3. The morphology, structure and photocatalytic activity of Bi2O3 were characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction spectroscopy, UV-Vis absorption spectrophotometer and fluorescence spectrophotometer, respectively. The morphology and photocatalytic activity of Bi2O3 are relevant to the calcination temperature. Bi2O3 treated at 400 ℃ shows the best photocatalytic activity in the degradation of methyl orange (86%) . The excellent photocatalytic activity should be attributed to its good light adsorption and low recombination of photo-induced charge carries.

Keywords: Bi2O3; photocatalysis; methyl orange
