Abstract

In this research, heterostructured g-C3N4 quantum dots (CNQDs)/Bi3.64Mo0.36O6.55 nanospheres have been fabricated trough an in situ precipitation process. Compared to the pure Bi3.64Mo0.36O6.55, the as-fabricated CNQDs/Bi3.64Mo0.36O6.55 nanocomposites exhibited significantly improved photocatalytic performance for the photodegradation of rhodamine B (Rh B) and bisphenol A (BPA). In addition, 5 ​wt% CNQDs/Bi3.64Mo0.36O6.55 sample showed the highest photocatalytic efficiency under visible-light irradiation (λ ​> ​420 ​nm). The effective separation and transmission of photogenerated electron-hole pairs caused by CNQD loading as well as the improved BET surface area are associated with the enhancement of the photocatalytic activity of the CNQDs/Bi3.64Mo0.36O6.55 photocatalyst.
