Magnetic photocatalysts with a p-n junction: Fe sub(3)O sub(4) nanoparticle and FeWO sub(4) nanowire heterostructures

Magnetic n-type semiconductor Fe sub(3)O sub(4) nanoparticle and p-type semiconductor FeWO sub(4) nanowire heterostructures were successfully synthesized without any surfactants or templates viaa facile one-step hydrothermal process at 160 degree C. The heterojunction structure and morphology were c...

description	Magnetic n-type semiconductor Fe sub(3)O sub(4) nanoparticle and p-type semiconductor FeWO sub(4) nanowire heterostructures were successfully synthesized without any surfactants or templates viaa facile one-step hydrothermal process at 160 degree C. The heterojunction structure and morphology were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). Magnetic measurements indicated the coexistence of ferrimagnetic behavior of Fe sub(3)O sub(4) and weak antiferromagnetic behavior of FeWO sub(4). The degradation of methylene blue (MB) under UV-Visible light irradiation was studied as a model experiment to evaluate the catalytic activity of the Fe sub(3)O sub(4)/FeWO sub( 4) heterostructure p-n junctions. The decomposition efficiency was 97.1% after one hour UV-Visible irradiation. This magnetic photocatalyst can be easily recovered from the solution using a permanent magnet and redispersed by removing the magnet.
