摘要
alpha-Fe2O3 nanoparticles were modified with phosphate acid by the dipping-steam solution process. The influence of phosphate modification on the thermal stability of nanosized Fe2O3 was investigated. The results showed that the thermal stability of Fe2O3 was remarkably enhanced by phosphate modification, owing to the inhibition of aggregation between nanoparticles by the modified phosphate groups. The sample treated at 600 degrees C showed the highest photocatalytic activity for degrading gas-phase acetaldehyde and liquid-phase phenol. This was ascribed to the high crystallinity, small nanoparticle size and large specific surface area of the sample. Moreover, it was favorable to improve the photogenerated charge separation after modification with a proper amount of phosphoric acid.
