Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A bismuth iodide oxide/zinc oxide composite material, a preparation method therefor and an application thereof in piezoelectric photocatalytic removal of organic pollutants. The conductive substrate spin-coated with a zinc oxide seed solution is annealed and added to the precursor solution for reaction to obtain a zinc oxide nanorod array (ZnO NRs); the zinc oxide nanorod array is added into a bismuth iodide precursor solution for reaction to obtain the bismuth iodide oxide/zinc oxide composite material (BiOI/ZnO NAs). The composite material is put into an aqueous solution containing bisphenol A, adsorption is performed in the dark for half an hour, and then ultrasound and visible light are used together to remove organic pollutants in the water. After piezoelectric photocatalytic degradation of 90 minutes, bisphenol A in the aqueous solution is almost completely degraded.
