Enhanced visible-light photocatalytic activity and photostability of Ag₃PO₄/Bi₂WO₆ heterostructures toward organic pollutant degradation and plasmonic Z-scheme mechanism.

ABSTRACT: Novel Ag₃PO₄/Bi₂WO₆ heterostructured materials with enhanced visible-light catalytic performance were successfully synthesized by assembly combined with a hydrothermal treatment. The microstructures, morphologies, and optical properties of the prepared samples were characterized by multiple techniques. The irregular Ag₃PO₄ nanospheres dispersed on the surface of Bi₂WO₆ nanoflakes, and their catalytic performances were evaluated via the degradation of organic pollutants including rhodamine B (RB), methylene blue (MB), crystal violet (CV), methyl orange (MO), and phenol (Phen) under visible-light irradiation. The resulting Ag₃PO₄/Bi₂WO₆ heterostructured m
