Abstract
This study presents a Bi12O15Cl6/Bi2WO6 (CW) heterojunction photocatalyst prepared by solvothermal method combined with calcination. The structural, surface morphological and spectral properties of samples were analyzed using XRD, SEM, XPS, BET, UV–Vis DRS and PL spectroscopy. The photocatalytic degradation efficiency towards RhB is up to 94.4 % under visible-light irradiation for 60 min. Free radical trapping experiments revealed h+ was the key active species for photodegradation. The photoluminescence spectroscopy and the transient photocurrent responses demonstrated that the enhanced photocatalytic activity mainly originates from the separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. This study not only provides a photocatalyst-design strategy, but also contributes to the pollutant treatment field.
