Abstract

Both lead molybdate ($PbMoO_4$) and chromium substituted lead molybdate ($PbMo_{1-x}Cr_xO_4$) were successfully synthesized using a conventional hydrothermal method and characterized by XRD, DRS, Raman, SEM and PL. We also investigated the photocatalytic activity of these materials for the decomposition of rhodamine B under UV-visible irradiation. The XRD and Raman results revealed the successful synthesis of well-crystallized $PbMoO_4$ crystals with the diameter of 51-59 nm, regardless of the addition of chromium ion. The DRS spectra of $PbMo_{1-x}Cr_xO_4$ catalysts showed new intensive absorption bands in the visible region. The $PbMoO_4$ catalysts showed the lowest photocatalytic activity and the activity increased with an increase of chromium substitution amounts under visible irradiation. PL peaks appeared at about 540-580 nm for all catalysts and excitonic PL signals were proportional to the photocatalytic activity for the decomposition of rhodamine B.

$PbMoO_4$ 및 $PbMo_{1-x}Cr_xO_4$ 산화물을 수열합성법으로 합성하여 XRD, DRS, Raman, SEM 및 PL 등에 의해 특성분석을 하였고, 자외선 및 가시광 조사 하에서 rhodamine B의 광분해 반응에서의 활성을 조사하였다. XRD 및 Raman의 분석 결과로부터 대부분의 촉매들은 크롬이온의 첨가와 무관하게 잘 결정화된 $PbMoO_4$ 구조를 가지고 있었으며 51에서 59 nm의 크기를 나타내었다. $PbMo_{1-x}Cr_xO_4$ 산화물의 DRS 곡선은 가시광 영역으로 강한 흡수선을 나타내었다. $PbMoO_4$ 산화물은 가시광 조사 하에서 낮은 광촉매 활성을 나타내었으나 크롬이온의 첨가량이 증가할수록 활성이 증가하였다. 모든 촉매들은 540-580 nm 부근에서 강하고 넓은 PL 흡수밴드가 나타났으며, 이 피크의 세기가 커질수록 광분해 활성이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.
