In this work, a ternary heterostructured Ag-Bi2MoO6/BiPO4 composite was fabricated through a low-temperature solution-phase route for the rst time. The XRD, SEM, EDX and XPS results indicated the prepared sample is a three-phase composite of BiPO4, Bi2MoO6, and Ag. Ag nanopar-ticles were photodeposited on the surface of Bi2MoO6/BiPO4 nanosheets, which not only increase visible-light absorption via the surface plasmon resonance, but also serve as good electron acceptor for facilitating quick photoexcited electron transfer. The interface between Bi2MoO6 and BiPO4 facilitates the migration of photoinduced electrons from Bi2MoO6 to BiPO4, which is also conductive to reduce the recombination of electron-holes. Thus, the ternary heterostructured Ag-Bi2MoO6/BiPO4 composite showed signi cant photocatalytic activity, higher than pure Bi2MoO6, BiPO4, and Bi2MoO6/BiPO4. Moreover, the possible photocatalytic mechanism of the Ag-Bi2MoO6/BiPO4 heterostructure related to the band positions of the semiconductors was also discussed. In addition, the quenching effects of di erent scavengers revealed that the reactive ·OH and O2·- play a major role in the phenol red decolorization.展开更多
