摘要
In this study, a series of p-CuBi2O4/n-NaTaO3 heteronanostructures were synthesized with the grinding-annealing method. The photocatalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). The photocatalysts exhibit enhanced photocatalytic activity for methyl blue dye degradation under visible-light irradiation. The highest photocatalytic degradation efficiency was observed when the sample calcined at 500 degrees C with 50 wt.% CuBi2O4 content. On the basis of the calculated energy band positions, the mechanism of enhanced photocatalytic activity was discussed. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
