Facilitated Photocatalytic Degradation of Rhodamine B over One-Step Synthesized Honeycomb-Like BiFeO₃/g-C₃N₄ Catalyst.

ABSTRACT: In the present work, a facile one-step methodology was used to synthesize honeycomb-like BiFeO₃/g-C₃N₄ composites, where the well-dispersed BiFeO₃ strongly interacted with the hg-C₃N₄. The 10BiFeO₃/hg-C₃N₄ could completely degrade RhB under visible light illumination within 60 min. The degradation rate constant was remarkably improved and approximately three times and seven times that of pristine hg-C₃N₄ and BiFeO₃, respectively. This is ascribed to the following factors: (1) the unique honeycomb-like morphology facilitates the diffusion of the reactants and effectively improves the utilization of light energy by multiple reflections of light; (2) the charged
