Abstract

A highly efficient γ-Bi2MoO6 photocatalyst was synthesized by a solvethermal method with the assistance of urea. The structure, morphology and photophysical properties of the Bi2MoO6 were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and nitrogen adsorption-desorption techniques. The photocatalytic efficiencies were evaluated by the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) under visible-light irradiation, and the γ-Bi2MoO6 structures displayed significantly higher visible-light-driven photocatalytic activity in comparison to TiO2 nanoparticles.
