Abstract
In this report, manganese-doped β-bismuth oxide has been prepared by solvothermal method and impregnated onto ultrathin rGO via a wet-chemical process to prepare rGO@Mn-Bi2O3 composite. Mn-doping into Bi2O3 crystal lattice was found to reduce the band gap of the resulting material up to 2.11 eV as compared to undoped Bi2O3 (3.14 eV). SEM images exhibited compact peanut-like morphology for Mn-Bi2O3 embedded on ultrathin and flexible 2D rGO sheets. The photodegradation efficiency of rGO@Mn-Bi2O3, along with its other correspondents, i.e., Bi2O3 and Mn-Bi2O3, was tested against Congo red (CR) dye and diclofenac sodium (DS) pharmaceutical drug. The results showed high photocatalytic efficiency of rGO@Mn-Bi2O3 for CR (87.9 %) and DS (91.7 %), which was significantly greater than Mn-Bi2O3 (CR = 62.7 % and DS = 77.1 %) and Bi2O3 (CR = 45.3 % and DS = 60 %). The enhanced photodegradation ability of rGO@Mn-Bi2O3 is due to the synergistic impacts of Mn-doping and rGO amalgamation.
