Hydrothermally synthesized Ho2O3 -ED-HPV was characterized by DRS-UV, FT-IR, SEM and EDX analysis.Catalyst surface has clustered microsponge-like structure with more number of cavities. To investigate the catalytic properties of Ho2O3 -ED-HPV nanoparticles, the photodecomposition of bisphenol-A with ultraviolet light was performed.
