Preparation of stone-shaped CuBi2O4 by solid phase method and H2O2 assisted visible light degradation for orange II

CuBi 2 O 4 is widely used in photocatalytic degradation for pollutants in water due to its strong visible light response characteristics, excellent chemical stability, non-toxic, and low cost. Here, stone-shaped CuBi 2 O 4 was prepared with CuO and Bi 2 O 3 as raw materials by high temperature solid phase. The effect of calcined temperature and time on the product was discussed. This material was analyzed and discussed by XRD, SEM, XPS, and DRS, and the visible light activity of degradation for Orange II was explored. The results showed that the absorption edge of prepared CuBi 2 O 4 expands to the visible region, and the band gap was about 1.77 eV. The photocatalytic degradation rate of Orange II was 42.6% under the optimal conditions. After H 2 O 2 assisted, the degradation rate was more than 2 times, and repeated experiments verified that the prepared catalysts had high stability. Finally, a reasonable mechanism of H 2 O 2 assisted degradation enhancement is proposed. This work gives new ideas for the preparation of new and efficient catalytic materials.
