The invention belongs to the technical field of environment-friendly functional materials, and particularly relates to novel halogenated
bismuthate which is a compound composed of
bismuth hexaiodide anions and benzyl
pyridine cations, and a preparation method of the halogenated
bismuthate comprises the following steps: taking a certain amount of
benzyl bromide and
pyridine, adding a proper amountof
solvent, mixing, dissolving, stirring, refluxing, evaporating, concentrating, washing with
diethyl ether, to obtain benzyl
pyridinium bromide; taking BiI3 and dissolving the BiI3 in a proper amountof concentrated
iodic acid, taking a certain amount of benzyl
pyridinium bromide and dissolving in a proper amount of
solvent, mixing the two solutions, stirring and refluxing, obtaining clear filtrate and performing subjected to freezing
crystallization, and obtaining the novel
bismuthate iodide. The novel halogenated bismuthate disclosed by the invention emits strong
orange light under the
irradiation of 365nm
ultraviolet light, rapidly degrades
rhodamine B and
methyl orange under visible light, and has very good cyclic degradation efficiency. The invention also provides a preparation method of the novel bismuthate
iodide, and the method has the advantages of high yield, cost saving, easy operation, and facilitation of industrial production.
