The synthesis of a Bi₂MoO₆/Bi₄V₂O₁₁ heterojunction photocatalyst with enhanced visible-light-driven photocatalytic activity.

ABSTRACT: A novel Bi₂MoO₆/Bi₄V₂O₁₁ heterostructured photocatalyst was successfully fabricated using a facile one-pot solvothermal method. This heterojunction consists of homogeneous dispersed Bi₄V₂O₁₁ nanocrystals anchored on the surface of Bi₂MoO₆ nanoflakes, endowing the heterojunction with nanosized interfacial contact. Based on the favorable interfacial contact, the band alignment at the heterojunction effectively facilitated photo-generated carrier transfer, which was verified by photoelectrochemical and photoluminescence measurements. Thereby, in contrast with pristine Bi₂MoO₆ and Bi₄V₂O₁₁, the as-synthesized heterojunction with na
