Abstract: LaFeO3 and a series of Cu-doped compounds LaFe1-x CuxO3 were prepared by citrate method. The photodegradation experiments of various water soluble dyes were carried out in the suspension of LaFe1-x CuxO3 acting as the photocatalysts. The photocatalytic activity of LaFeO3 and LaFe1-x CuxO3 was studied with IR, UV-Vis, and photoacoustic spectroscopy. The influence of doping on photocatalytic activity was also analyzed by PATand XPStechnology. The results show that the doping can greatly improve the photocatalytic activity of LaFeO3.

Key words: LaFe1-x CuxO3, Photocatalytic activity, Doping
