The invention discloses a CaBi2O4 / BiOCl
heterojunction composite photocatalyst and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of photocatalytic materials. The preparation methodcomprises the following steps: dissolving
calcium nitrate tetrahydrate in deionized water, dissolving
barium nitrate pentahydrate in dilute
nitric acid, and uniformly mixing the
calcium nitrate tetrahydrate and
barium nitrate pentahydrate; dropwise adding dilute
ammonia water and the
mixed solution into deionized water at the same time, and continuously stirring until the pH value is 6-8 to obtainwhite turbid liquid; stirring and aging the obtained precipitate suspension for 30 minutes, carrying out
solid-liquid separation by using a centrifugal
machine to obtain a white precipitate, washing,diluting, putting into a reaction kettle, carrying out heating treatment at 180-260 DEG C for 6 hours, and cooling and
drying to obtain
calcium bismuthate;
roasting Calcium bismuthate for 4 h, and then adding absolute ethyl
alcohol and deionized water for ultrasonic treatment; and adding
hydrochloric acid with required volume according to different
molar fractions, stirring, filtering, washing and
drying to obtain a series of CaBi2O4 / BiOCl
heterojunction photocatalysts with different BiOCl contents. The method has the characteristics that the preparation temperature is low, the process is simple, the absorption of the prepared CaBi2O4 / BiOCl
heterojunction photocatalyst to visible light is enhanced, and the degradation performance to
rhodamine B is also obviously superior to that of CaBi2O4.
