Cost-effective Bi₂WO₆ for efficient degradation of rhodamine B and tetracycline.

ABSTRACT: The morphology-controlled synthesis of nanostructured photocatalysts by an environmentally friendly and low-cost method provides a feasible way to realize practical applications of photocatalysts. Herein, Bi₂WO₆ (BWO) nanophotocatalysts with mulberry shape, sheet-like, and round-cake morphologies have been successfully synthesized through a highly facile solvothermal process by simply adjusting the solvothermal temperature or utilizing selective addition of ethylene glycol as an orientation agent without using strong acids and bases and/or hazardous chemicals. The ratio of ethylene glycol and glacial acetic acid can affect the morphology and oxygen vacancy content of BWO, thereby influencing the photocatalytic performance. The photocatalytic activity of the as-prepare
