Abstract

Hollow LaFeO3 (LFO) spheres was prepared for the first time by surfactant-assisted hydrothermal method. The sample was characterized in detail, suggesting the successful synthesis of LFO which was consisting of hollow core and porous shell. The large specific surface area, accessible pores, and low band gap energy suggests its high photocatalytic performance towards adsorption and photo-Fenton degradation of Ibuprofen under visible light irradiation. Ibuprofen (IBP), which has been widely used as one of anti-inflammatory drugs for treatment of several diseases was selected as a pharmaceutical model. It was found that the hollow LFO spheres induced a significant improvement in the visible-light-Fenton catalytic performance, as compared with pure LFO. The degradation rate using hollow LFO under optimal conditions (temperature = 25 °C, IBP concentration = 10 mg L−1, catalyst dosage = 1.0 g L−1, initial H2O2 concentration = 0.2 g L−1 and initial solution pH = 5) was 96.2% after 90-min exposure to the visible light. This was 27.6% greater than that of pure LFO. Particularly, the pseudo-first-order reaction rate constant for hollow LFO was 0.0419 min−1, which was approximately 3 times higher than that for pure LFO (0.0159 min−1). The newly developed photocatalyst, hollow LFO, exhibited a good stability for recycle and reuse, which is crucial for its potential use in industrial application.
