The invention belongs to the technical field of
environmental protection functional materials, and specifically relates to a novel
bismuth halide salt, which is a compound composed of hexaiodobismuth anion and benzylpyridinium cation. The preparation method comprises the following steps: taking a certain amount of
benzyl bromide and
pyridine, Add an appropriate amount of
solvent to mix and dissolve, stir and
reflux, then evaporate and concentrate, and then wash with
ether to obtain benzylpyridinium
bromide; take BiI 3 Dissolve in an appropriate amount of concentrated
iodic acid, take a certain amount of benzylpyridinium
bromide salt and dissolve it in an appropriate amount of
solvent, mix and stir the two solutions to
reflux to obtain a clear filtrate, and freeze and crystallize to obtain a new type of
bismuth iodide salt. The novel
bismuth halide of the invention emits strong orange-
red light under the
irradiation of 365nm
ultraviolet light, rapidly degrades
rhodamine B and
methyl orange under visible light, and has good cycle degradation efficiency. The invention also provides a preparation method of the novel
bismuth iodide salt, the method has high yield, saves cost, is easy to operate, and is beneficial to industrialized production.
