The invention provides a preparation method of a hollow tree-like
bismuth oxide-
bismuth sulfide complex. The preparation method comprises the following steps: (1) taking
bismuth nitrate pentahydrate, stirring and dissolving in dilute
nitric acid, and then regulating the pH value of a
bismuth nitrate solution to 9-14 with a fixed quantity of alkaline solution; then transferring the solution into a
crystallization reaction kettle, reacting at the temperature of 80-200 DEG C for 0.5-12h, cooling, filtering, separating, washing with deionized water, washing with
anhydrous ethanol,
drying and calcining to obtain hollow tubular bismuth
oxide; and (2) dispersing the prepared hollow tubular bismuth
oxide in the deionized water, adding a water-soluble
sulfide while stirring, controlling the
molar ratio of the bismuth oxide to the
sulfide to be 1: (1-8), then transferring the obtained solution into the
crystallization reaction kettle, reacting at 40-180 DEG C for 0.5-36h, cooling, filtering, separating, washing with the deionized water for three times, washing with the
anhydrous ethanol and
drying to obtain the hollow tree-like bismuth oxide-
bismuth sulfide complex. The invention further relates to an application of the hollow tree-like bismuth oxide-
bismuth sulfide complex as a photocatalyst.
