The invention discloses a preparation method of a
rare earth doped Bi2MoO6 / In2O3
heterojunction composite photocatalyst, and belongs to the technical field of photocatalytic materials, and the preparation method specifically comprises the following steps: S1, preparing a precursor; step S2, preparation of a
solid-liquid mixture: putting
bismuth salt,
rare earth metal salt, hexadecyl trimethyl
ammonium bromide and
sodium molybdate into deionized water, performing
ultrasonic dispersion, adding the precursor In2O3, and performing ultrasonic stirring and uniform mixing to obtain the
solid-liquid mixture; and S3, carrying out a
hydrothermal reaction on the
solid-liquid mixture, naturally cooling, centrifuging, carrying out solid-liquid separation, washing the solid with deionized water, and
drying to obtain the
rare earth doped Bi2MoO6 / In2O3
heterojunction composite photocatalyst. According to the invention, rare earth
doping (especially
yttrium Y
doping) is introduced, so that the light
absorption capacity of the material is further enhanced, efficient migration and compounding inhibition of photo-induced electrons and holes are realized, regulation and control of the energy band structure and light absorption performance of the material are realized, the
utilization rate of visible light is further enhanced, and finally, the photocatalytic activity is remarkably improved.
