Abstract
The morphology and size of photocatalyst directly affect the spectral absorption, adsorption and degradation efficiency for pollutants, which are the key factors affecting photocatalytic performance. The unique layered crystal structure of BiOBr makes it easy to grow along the (001) direction to form two-dimensional sheets, but the synthesis of BiOBr nanospheres has not been reported. In this work, BiOBr nanospheres with a size less than 50 nm were synthesized by solvothermal method for the first time. The organic bromine source (1, 2-dibromobenzene) and high reactant concentration are the two main conditions for the synthesis of BiOBr nanospheres. BiOBr nanospheres could rapidly degrade Rhodamine B dye under visible light irradiation. The results could provide a novel process for the controlled preparation of BiOBr and more research basis for the deep photocatalytic degradation of printing and dyeing wastewater.
