PbMoO"4-coated carbon microspheres (CMSs@PbMoO"4) were synthesized by a
multistep method using CMSs as a support. In this synthesis dispersed CMSs
were prepared by a hydrothermal method using glucose as a carbon source and
used as an absorbent and support coated by PbMoO"4 at room temperature. The
as-prepared CMSs@PbMoO"4 was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD),
scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier transform infrared
spectroscopy (FTIR). The photocatalytic activity of the as-prepared sample
was evaluated by degradation of Rhodamine B in aqueous solution under
visible light irradiation. The CMSs@PbMoO"4 show effective photocatalytic
activity. In addition, the photocatalytic mechanism of CMSs@PbMoO"4 was
proposed.
