Facile Construction Engineering of Pr₆O₁₁@C with Efficient Photocatalytic Activity.

ABSTRACT: In this study, facile construction engineering of Pr₆O₁₁@C with efficient photocatalytic activity was established. Taking advantage of the flocculation of Pr³⁺ in the base medium, acid red 14 (AR14) was flocculated together with Pr(OH)₃ precipitate, in which Pr(OH)₃ and AR14 mixed highly uniformly. Calcinated at high temperature in N2, a novel Pr₆O₁₁@C was successfully synthesized. The resulting materials were characterized by XRD, SEM, FT-IR, Raman, and XPS techniques. The results show that the cubic Pr₆O₁₁@C with Fm3m space group, similar to that of Pr₆O₁₁, was obtained. From the results of the photodegradation of AR14, it is found that the photocatalytic efficiency of
