Abstract
Monoclinic phase BiPO4 nanocrystals have been synthesized in the oleic acid (OA) solution through one-pot solvothermal route. The photocatalytic performances of the BiPO4 nanocrystals were evaluated by the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) solution under UV and visible light irradiation. The reaction rate of BiPO4 nanocrystals before calcination was 0.0509 min−1, which was much higher than that after calcination (0.0328 min−1). The BiPO4 nanocrystals before calcination exhibit higher photocatalytic activity than that after calcination. The small size of BiPO4 nanocrystals may be the key factor for its high photocatalytic performances.
