The LaFeO3 photocatalyst is prepared by a low temperature molten salt method and characterized by XRD,TEM techniques respectively.Its catalytic effects on the rhodamine B′s photodegradation have been investigated.The results show that the calcining temperature had a significant impact on the morphology and particle size of the LaFeO3 powder.The photocatalytic degradation data indicate that the LaFeO3 powder synthesized by the low temperature molten salt method exhibits higher photocatalytic activity.
