Abstract
Abstract In this study, the cubic antimony trioxide (Sb 2 O 3 ) nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by ultrasonic-assisted solid-liquid reaction ball milling technique. And the synthetic process, using Sb powder as raw material, was conducted with an atmosphere of acetic acid aqueous solution at low temperature (⩽100 °C). Some controlled trials, including without the assistance of ultrasonic wave, different reaction solutions and diverse ultrasonic frequencies, were performed. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results show that the Sb 2 O 3 nanoparticles with uniform and ultrafine particle size were obtained within short reaction time under the coaction of both ultrasonic wave and ball milling. Furthermore, the catalytic capacity of the Sb 2 O 3 nanoparticles for decomposition of H 2 O 2 was measured during the oxidative decomposition of methylene blue (MB). The test exhibited rapid and efficient color removal in the degradation of MB.
