Abstract

In this article, we prepared the metallic iron on the cathode in borate electrolyte which contains ferrous ions by electrodeposition method, and heated the iron to be iron oxide in the muffle fu rn ace . Then analyzed the iron oxide’s structural, morphological and element compositional by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) SEM), and also for its fluorescence analysis and light catalysis research . The results indicated that the iron oxide we prepared is given priority to ferric oxide , and contains a small amount of ferrous oxide , and it is existed in crystalline form . The morphology of iron oxide is almost appeared flake, and gathered tog ether with irregular size, there are two crests on iron oxide’s fluorescence and one renders purple light and another renders blue light, iron oxide has a good catalytic effect on the photo degradation of organics when be used as catalyst..
