Abstract:
The present invention relates to bismuth-titanium oxide composite nanowires used for photocatalysis and a preparation method, belonging to the field of inorganic nanomaterials. The preparation of the bismuth-titanium oxide composite nanowires is: polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and bismuth nitrate are added to N—N dimethylformamide (DMF), tetrabutyl titanate and acetylacetone are added after magnetic stirring has been performed for a period of time, continual stirring is performed for more than six hours, and a transparent, stable solution is obtained. Electrospinning is performed on the solution in an electrospinning generation device under certain conditions, and the obtained electrospinning precursor nano fibers are air-fired in a muffle furnace to remove organic matter. After being cooled to room temperature, the electrospinning precursor nano fibers are placed in a tube furnace to be reduced and sintered in a hydrogen atmosphere. The method is energy-saving and environmentally friendly, the conditions are easy to control, costs are low, and large-scale industrial production is easy. The obtained bismuth-titanium oxide nanowires exhibit good degradation activity on methyl orange under illumination, where the methyl orange degradation rate is reaching more than 95% in a reaction lasting for 20 minutes. The obtained bismuth-titanium oxide nanowires have wide application prospects in relation to sewage treatment.
