Abstract

Ca/Mn doped BiFeO3 microcrystals were prepared by a conventional hydrothermal process. The crystalline structure, morphologies and photocatalytic activities were investigated. The results show that Ca/Mn doping in different sites intensely influenced the crystalline structure, morphology, dimension and energy band configuration of BiFeO3 microcrystals, which finally lead to great changes in its photocatalytic activity. Furthermore, the results reveal that photocatalytic activity of BiFeO3 system could be optimized by altering its energy band configuration through ion doping, other than variation in particle dimension.
