Abstract

Bi2WO6 were successfully synthesized using EGME, GL, EG and water as solvents by a conventional hydrothermal method. They were characterized by XRD, DRS, BET and SEM and we also investigated the photocatalytic activity of these materials for the decomposition of Rhodamin B under visible light irradiation. The XRD results revealed the successful synthesis well-crystallized Bi2WO6 crystals with Aurivillius structure when EGME and EG are used as solvents. In addition, the well-crystallized Bi2WO6 crystals showed the flower-like structure. The Bi2WO6 catalysts prepared at 180 ℃ using EGME as a solvent showed the highest photocatalytic activity. The Bi2WO6 catalysts prepared at mole ratio of H2O/EGME more than 50% showed high photocatalytic activity.

EGME, GL 및 EG와 물을 용매를 사용하여 Bi2WO6 산화물을 수열합성법으로 성공적으로 합성하였다. 이들 촉매들의 물리적 특성을 XRD, DRS, BET 및 SEM 등으로 분석하였고 제조된 촉매들을 사용하여 가시광선 조사 하에서의 로다민 B의 광분해 반응에서의 활성을 조사하였다. XRD의 분석 결과에 의하면 EGME 및 EG를 용매로 사용한 경우에는 Bi2WO6의 결정화가 잘 이루어졌다. 또한, 결정화가 잘 이루어진 Bi2WO6는 꽃 모양의 형상을 나타내었다. 180 ℃에서 EGME를 용매로 사용하여 제조된 Bi2WO6 촉매가 가장 높은 광분해 활성을 나타내었으며, EGME에 비해 물의 몰 비가 50% 이상으로 제조한 경우에 높은 광촉매 활성을 보여주었다.
