Synthesis of Rape Pollen-Fe2O3 Biohybrid Catalyst and Its Application on Photocatalytic Degradation and Antibacterial Properties

The efficient biohybrid photocatalysts were prepared with different weight ratios of Fe2O3 and treated rape pollen (TRP). synthesized samples characterized by analytical techniques. results showed that carbonized had a three-dimensional skeleton granular uniformly covered the surface TRP. Fe2O3/TRP used for degradation Methylene Blue (MB) Escherichia Coli (E. coli) disinfection in water under visible light. MB inactivation E. coli was achieved to 93.7% 300 min 99.14% 100 min, respectively. We also explored mechanism during reaction process, where reactive oxygen species (ROS) including hydroxyl radicals superoxide play major role throughout process. This work provides new ideas preparation high-performance combining semiconductors earth-abundant biomaterials.
