Ag/Bi 2 WO 6 nanocomposites were successfully synthesized by a combination of hydrothermal method and ultrasonic vibration. The phases, vibration modes, constituents and morphologies were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The visible-light-driven photocatalytic activitiy of 0-10 wt% Ag/Bi 2 WO 6 samples was studied by determining the photodegradation of rhodamine B under xenon lamp. In this research, 10 wt% Ag/Bi 2 WO 6 nanocomposites exhibit the highest efficiency and have the promising photocatalytic properties for waste water treatment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
