Preparation and Photocatalytic Properties of BaTiO3/TiO2 Heterostructured Nanofibers

Heterostructured BaTiO₃/TiO₂ composite nanofibers were fabricated by in situ hydrothermal method using TiO₂ nanofibers as both template and reactant. The morphology and structure of BaTiO₃/TiO₂ composite nanofibers were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM). Photocatalytic activity was tested via rhodamine B and phenol degradation as the model reaction. The results showed that the as-fabricated sample was composed of BaTiO₃ nanoparticles assembling uniformly on the surface of TiO₂ nanofibers to form BaTiO₃/TiO₂ heterostructures. Compared with the pure TiO₂ nanofibers, BaTiO₃/TiO₂ composite nanofibers exhibited enhanced photocatalytic activity in the decomposition of rhodamine B under UV illumination. The degradation of both RB and phenol followed first-order reaction kinetics, and the composite showed higher photoactivity than did the pure anatase TiO₂．The composite nanofibers also showed good catalytic stability and the decolorizing efficiency of RB solution remained as high as 96% after 5 times recycle. Moreover, the catalyst was easily separated and removed from the system after reaction and reuse.
