In this work, visible light driven plasmonic photocatalyst, Ag–AgBr/BiVO4 nanostructures have been facilely prepared by a hydrothermal process, the deposition precipitation method with surfactant and subsequent light driven route. As a low cost and efficient visible light driven photocatalyst, BiVO4 is chosen as an ideal support. Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) was used as both of the surfactant, template directing reagent and the Br source. The obtained Ag–AgBr/BiVO4 photocatalyst shows excellent visible light driven photocatalytic performance. It can decompose Rhodamine B (RhB) within 16 min under visible light irradiation. Meanwhile, compared with other VLD (visible light driven) photocatalysts such as Ag–AgBr, Ag–TiO2 and AgBr–Ag–TiO2 composite, the amount of Ag needed as well as the cost decrease significantly. Moreover, the possible photocatalytic mechanism of the Ag–AgBr/BiVO4 nanostructures was investigated.
