Synthesis of Bi0.5Li0.5TiO3 Nanoparticles by Sol-Gel Method for Photocatalytic Methylene Blue Degradation and Antibacterial Activity

الملخص EN

Facile synthesis of nanomaterials for advanced characterization and application is gaining interest from many researchers.

In this study, Bi0.5Li0.5TiO3 nanoparticles were synthesized through the sol-gel method.

The photocatalytic activity of the synthesized Bi0.5Li0.5TiO3 was investigated for degradation of methylene blue (MB) under UV irradiation.

A photocatalytic efficiency of 74% was found at 150 min when the degradation was performed in the basic media, and the kinetic rate constant was calculated equal to 0.0093 min-1.

The antibacterial activity of Bi0.5Li0.5TiO3 nanoparticles was evaluated against E.

coli, and the results showed considerable efficiency.
