A Bi(OH)₃ precursor was prepared using a precipitation method using bismuth nitrate as a starting material and ammonia as the precipitation agent. Bi(OH)₃ was then calcined at different temperatures and different time. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, thermogravimetry (TG), scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UVVis DRS) were used to investigate the phase transformation from Bi(OH)₃ to Bi₂O₃ and the particle size, morphology, and optical properties of Bi₂O₃ during the phase transformation. It was found that Bi(OH)₃ after calcination undergoes the following process: Bi(OH)₃ → Bi₅O₇NO₃ → β-Bi₂O₃/Bi₅O₇NO₃ → β-Bi₂O₃/Bi₅O₇NO₃/α-Bi₂O₃ → α-Bi₂O₃. It was observed that the above phase transformation from Bi(OH)₃ to Bi₂O₃ and the growth of the particle size are interrelated. It was also found that the phase transition from β-Bi₂O₃ to α-Bi₂O₃ was faster compared with the phase transition from Bi₅O₇NO₃ to β-Bi₂O₃. Also, the degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) was studied to investigate and compare the photocatalytic performance of Bi₂O₃ with different crystalline phases. The result indicates that Bi₅O₇NO₃ and β-Bi₂O₃ exhibit excellent photocatalytic performance, while α-Bi₂O₃ has a low photocatalytic activity.
