Abstract:
BiOI nanoplatelets were successfully grown on carbon fibers (CFs) surface, which had been activated in acid and alkaline solution (CFs-AC and CFs-AL). The BiOI microspheres composed of nanoplatelets were distributed relatively equally on CFs surface after acidizing while the CFs treatment by alkaline solution the BiOI nanoplatelets cannot combined tightly with CFs. The as-prepared BiOI/CFs was characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The possible mechanism of BiOI/CFs formation was attributed to the electrostatic adsorption in reaction process. The photocatalytic of the as-prepared samples (CFs-AC and CFs-AL) were evaluated by degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) under visible light irradiation at room temperature. CFs-AC possessed higher photocatalytic activity than that of CFs-AL, pure CFs and BiOI. The mechanism of the enhancement of photocatalytic process was discussed.

Classifying Matter by Composition
According to its composition, the matter can be classified into two broad categories — pure substances and mixtures.
A pure substance is a form of matter that has a constant composition throughout with uniform properties. For example, any sample of sucrose has the same composition and same physical properties, such as melting point, color, and sweetness, regardless of the source from which it is isolated.
A mixture is composed of two or...
