Abstract

GaOOH is obtained via hydrothermal synthesis procedure. The formed GaOOH is turned into α-Ga2O3 at 500℃ annealing. As the annealing temperatures increase the α-Ga2O3 is in part turned into β-Ga2O3 and fully turned into β-Ga2O3 after 1100℃. XPS and PL results reveal that heterojunction interface between α-Ga2O3 and β-Ga2O3 become maxim at 500℃ annealing condition, which result in the highest photocatalytic activity. The presence of heterojunction interface slows down the recombination process by separating photogenerated electron-hole pairs and thereby enhance the overall photocatalytic activity.
