Synthesis of Mesoporous Bi2WO6 Flower-Like Spheres with Photocatalysis Properties under Visible Light

Abstract

3D mesoporous Bi 2 WO 6 flower-like spheres, which compose of nanosheets, were successfully synthesized by simple hydrothermal treatment. Bi 2 WO 6 flower-like spheres exhibited high photocatalytic activity to tetracycline under visible light irradiation, because of the mesoporous structure, narrowed band gap and high surface area. Therefore, 3D mesoporous Bi 2 WO 6 flower-like spheres can be a promising candidate material to be applied to the field of wastewater treatment.
