Abstract

Bi2MoO6-BiOCl nanoplate composites were successfully synthesized by a simple solvothermal process. The morphology, microstructure and optical properties of the as-prepared Bi2MoO6-BiOCl nanocomposites were characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and UV-Vis diffuse reflection spectroscopy (DRS). A noteworthy enhancement in the visible-light-responsive photocatalytic degradation of RhB was observed over the Bi2MoO6-BiOCl nanocomposites compared to its individual components. The enhanced photocatalytic performance of Bi2MoO6-BiOCl nanocomposites could be attributed to the heterojunction interface in the composite, which can both efficiently separate photogenerated electron-hole pairs and also restrain the recombination of photoinduced charges.
