Abstract

The one-dimenional (1D) α-Fe2O3/Bi2MoO6 heterostructures with α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles grown on Bi2MoO6 nanofibers were fabricated by combining the electrospinning with solvothermal method. The obtained 1D heterostructures were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), raman spectroscopic technique, brunauer-emmett-teller (BET) analysis, UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectrum (UV–vis DRS) and photoluminescence (PL) spectrum. The photocatalytic studies revealed that the heterostructures exhibited the extraordinary photocatalytic activity under simulated sunlight irradiation, which might put down to the effective separation of photo-induced carriers at the α-Fe2O3/Bi2MoO6 heterojunction interfaces and higher specific surface area.
