Photocatalytic activity of Fe3O4/Bi2MoO6 composite in Rhodamine B decomposition

Flower-like Fe3O4/Bi2MoO6 has been prepared via a facile two-step thermosynthesis method. The composite displays high photocatalytic activity in Rhodamine B decomposition under visible light irradiation. Bi2MoO6 with flower-like structure that has high specific surface area guarantees excellent photocatalytic performance. Fe3O4 retards electron-hole recombination that contributes to photocatalytic property. Further, the stable composite exhibits remarkable reusability due to the incorporation of magnetic particle.
