Antibacterial Activity and the Mechanism of the Z-Scheme Bi₂MoO₆/Bi₅O₇I Heterojunction under Visible Light.

ABSTRACT: Z-scheme Bi₂MoO₆/Bi₅O₇I heterojunction was constructed by an in situ solvothermal method, which was composed of Bi₂MoO₆ nanosheets growing on the surface of Bi₅O₇I microrods. The antibacterial activities under illumination towards Escherichia coli (E. coli) were investigated. The Bi₂MoO₆/Bi₅O₇I composites exhibited more outstanding antibacterial performance than pure Bi₂MoO₆ and Bi₅O₇I, and the E. coli (10⁸ cfu/mL) was completely inactivated by BM/BI-3 under 90 min irradiation. Additionally, the experiment of adding scavengers revealed that h⁺, •O₂^- and
