Abstract

The loading of AgX (X=Cl, Br and I) into BiOX nanoplates and microspheres was demonstrated, and then their adsorption and photocatalytic performances were studied using rhodamine B (RhB) and a more complicated mixed dye (methyl orange+RhB+methylene blue) system under UV and visible light. The adsorption performances were highly dependent on morphology, nature of material, dye system, and AgX-loading. Photocatalytic activity was also found to be dependent on the wavelength of incident light. The detailed approach to a more complicated system provides new insights that can aid in design of appropriate photocatalysts for a more complicated polluted target.
