Abstract

New nanocrystalline bismuth titanate materials, Bi_xTiO_1.5x+2 (x = 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18) were successfully synthesized at 130 °C. X-ray powder diffraction analysis showed that these bismuth titanate materials formed a solid solution which crystallined in cubic crystal structure with Fm3m space group. The average particle size of these materials was 7.8 nm. The increase of bismuth content caused a blue shift in the DR UV-visible spectra. More Bi-O-Ti bonds were detected in Bi₁₀TiO₁₇ compared to the other prepared materials as evidenced in the DR UV-visible analysis. Results demonstrated that the synthesized nanocrystalline bismuth titanate materials were potential photocatalysts in phenol degradation under ultraviolet light. Amongst, the nanocrystalline bismuth titanate with Bi₁₀TiO₁₇ has shown the highest phenol degradation.
