Abstract :
The main objectives of the present research work are to synthesize BiOI photocatalyst by simple solvothermal method and to characterize the synthesized BiOI photocatalyst by the Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X- ray Diffractometer (XRD) and Field Emission Scanning Electronic Microscopy (FE- SEM). Also, the photocatalytic performance of BiOI compound towards the photodegradation of Rhodamine B, Methylene Blue and Acid Orange 7 dyes under visible light irradiation have been investigated and reported. The maximum degradation was witnessed for Acid Orange 7 dye when compared to the other two dyes. A suitable photocatalytic degradation mechanism has been proposed based on the observed results.
