Photocatalytic activity of CdSe/K2La2Ti3O10 for rhodamine B degradation under visible light illumination

The composite CdSe/K2La2Ti3O10 photocatalyst was synthesized via a precipitation method. The structure of the photocatalyst was determined by powder X-ray diffraction. The photocatalytic properties for organic matter degradation of the photocatalyst were examined under visible light irradiation, using rhodamine B as the goal degradation content and halogen lamp (lambda > 420 nm) for the light source. The results show that when the pH of the rhodanmine B at 7, initial concentration of 10 mg/L and every 250 mL solution catalyst dosage is 0.25 g, and the degradation rate of rhodamine B for 4 hours was 50%.
