| Abstract |
Fabrication of CTAB capped Bi2WO6 photocatalyst via a solvothermal route has been reported. The addition of
surfactant remarkably affects the morphology and the photoactivity of the photocatalyst. The 0.20CTAB-Bi2WO6
photocatalyst, with flower-like morphology and low charge carrier recombination rate, provides 100% removal
of Rhodamine B (RhB) dye. The promising performance is attributed to the well dispersion of the surfactant
capping agent on the surface of the resultant photocatalyst. The hydrocarbon from the non-polar tail of CTAB can
promote the adsorption of the RhB dye and finally end up with the improvement of photocatalytic performance
of the CTAB-capped photocatalyst. The prepared 0.20CTAB-Bi2WO6 photocatalyst also exhibits high efficiency
with good chemical stability after five cycles of use implying its great potential of reusability. This research
demonstrates an important role of the CTAB surfactant in controlling of morphology and photoactivity of the
Bi2WO6 photocatalyst for detoxification of cationic dye in wastewater. The real scale removal of the organic
pollutants can be further carried out by utilization of the economical solar energy comprising 43% of visible
light. |
