Abstract

Modifying materials by ions with multiple valence states is an effective way for enhancing their properties. NiFe layered double hydroxides (NiFe LDHs) were prepared by using a hydrothermal method. Efficient LDH photocatalyst was synthesized by the modification of NiFe LDHs with Fe(III). Electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area, photoluminescence spectroscopy, and UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy were used to investigate the morphology, crystal structure, and optical properties of the NiFe LDHs. The photocatalytic and adsorption performances were examined in the degradation of methyl orange. NiFe LDHs exhibited higher adsorption property but lower photocatalytic activity. After modification with Fe(III), the introducing of Fe ions and recrystallization of LDHs led to the distance decreasing between NiFe LDH sheets and exhibit higher photocatalytic performance.
