摘要：

Anatase titania-coated bismuth ferrite nanocomposites (BiFeO3/TiO2) have been fabricated via a hydrothermal approach combined with a hydrolysis precipitation processing. Analysis of the microstructure and phase composition reveals that a core-shell BiFeO3/TiO2 structure can be formed, which results in a significant redshift in the UV-vis absorption spectra as compared to a simple mechanical mixture of BiFeO3-TiO2 nanopowders. The core-shell structured BiFeO3/TiO2 nanocomposites exhibit higher photocatalytic activity for photodegradation of Congo red under visible-light (lambda>400 nm) irradiation, which should be attributed to the enhancement of the quantum efficiency by separating the electrons and holes effectively. The obtained BiFeO3/TiO2 nanocomposites can be used as potential visible-light driven photocatalysts.
