Abstract

Bismuth ferrite perovskite BiFeO3 (BFO) being used for many applications was prepared by hydrothermal method at various heating temperatures and duration. X-ray diffractometry, scanning electronic microscopy, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) displayed the optimum nanorod structure of BFO samples after being heated at 160 °C for 12 h in the autoclave (BFO*). Additionally, the morphology of BFO* was also analyzed by energy-dispersive spectroscopy and the nitrogen adsorption isotherms. The photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) with the presence of BFO* under visible light demonstrated the hypsochromic shifts of maximum absorbance to the blue region over time due to the N-deethylations. BFO efficiently decomposed RhB under various reaction conditions. About 77% of the initial RhB was degraded after 45 min at 30 °C and most of the RhB vanished after 60 min at 45 °C. The RhB degradation with BFO* exhibited the pseudo-first-order kinetics and the apparent activation energy of 57.94 kJ mol−1. After being recycled five times, the degradation efficiency of BFO* displayed unremarkable changes with good stability of materials. From the analysis of generated intermediates by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with ESI ionized mass spectroscopy, the RhB degradation process was also given.
