Abstract: Ce-doped nano ZnO nanomaterials were prepared by doping rare earth element Ce with nano-ZnO which prepared by pyrolysis at high temperature, and the structural characteristics and element composition of the materials was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The effects of Photocatalytic Degradation of Dye RhB Catalyzed by Ce-ZnO was researched in Rhodamine B (RhB) dye as a single sewage system. The result of phase analysis of xray diffraction indicated that the Ce-ZnO catalyst has six crystal wurtzite type structure characteristic diffraction peak and had a diffraction peak of CeO2. The result of energy spectrum showed that the mass ratio of Ce and Zn is 1∶23.88. Photocatalytic degradation of RhB by Ce-ZnO followed the first-orderkinetics, In natural light, the apparent rate constant of RhB degradation catalyzed by nano-material Ce-ZnO is 0.039 8, which is greater than the apparent rate constant under ultraviolet light (0.024 0). It indicated that doping rare earth element Ce could effectively improve the catalytic degradation of RhB by nano-ZnO under natural light.
