Article Description

The β-Ni(OH) microspheres have been fabricated by a facile hydrothermal method in the assistance of biomolecule (L-arginine). The NiO microspheres were obtained with further calcination of β-Ni(OH) precursor at 500 °C for 2 h. Subsequently, Ag/NiO nanocomposite microspheres were also prepared by the reduction of AgNO solution. The as-synthesized products were characterized by X-ray power diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energydispersive X-ray spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis et al. The photocatalytic activity of Ag/NiO composite microspheres was also investigated by UV-Vis spectrophotometer and the results display enhanced photocatalytic activity in degradation of methyl orange. © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2012.
