Abstract This paper introduced the application of photocatalysis and advanced measurement and testing technology in physical chemistry experiment teaching with example of preparation and photocatalytic performance test of Sb-doped Bi2O3 nanomaterials. Sb-doped Bi2O3 nanomaterials were fabricated via a solvothermal method. The component and morphology of the samples were characterized with X-ray powder diffraction and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. The visible-light-induced photocatalytic activities of undoped and Sb-doped Bi2O3 nanomaterials were evaluated by the photodegradation of Rhodamine B. The mechanism for enhanced photocatalytic performance of Sb-doped Bi2O3 was analyzed by the optical and photoelectronic properties. By means of this experiment, students would get advanced knowledge in chemistry, learn about the fundamentals of photocatalysis reaction and advanced testing technology, master novel experimental techniques, and get a better grasp of the basic knowledge of physical chemistry. Moreover, the comprehensive experiment would be significant for improving experimental ability of the students and cultivating innovative and interdisciplinary talents.
