Application of pyrolitic method of synthesis for preparation of calcium bismuthate based photocatalyst

摘要

The study describes use of pyrolytic synthesis method for preparation of visible light calcium bismuthate based photocatalyst. The advantage of the proposed method is that it allows obtaining single-phase, homogeneous samples with various types of crystal lattice and controlled defects. It is shown that it is possible to obtain crystalline calcium bismuthate with the same stoichiometry in the entire region of existence of the solid solution. Synthesized samples of calcium bismuthate have been characterized using the scanning electron microscopy and X-ray analysis. It was found that the scope and conditions of synthesis affect the degree of imperfection of both anionic and cationic sublattice of calcium bismuthate.
