Photocatalysis has been gaining a growing popularity in water treatment, and their engineered applications inspire the development of effective photocatalyst materials. To develop photocatalyst that is effective for degradation of organic pollutants, we fabricate a novel direct solid Z-scheme BiPO4-Bi2O2(OH)(NO3) (BPO-BHN) heterojunction structured hybrid. The results demonstrate an enhanced photocatalytic activity of BPO-BHN to produce radical dotOH radicals, according to diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), electron spin-resonance resonance (ESR), photoelectrochemical measurements, and theoretical calculation results. The BPO-BHN is shown to greatly promote the degradation of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) under ultraviolet light. On the basis of pseudo-first-order kinetics, the apparent degradation rate constant (kapp) of 0.050 min−1obtained for BPO-BHN is approximately 3.33 and 12.5 times of that for individual BPO (kapp= 0.015 min−1) and BHN (kapp= 0.004 min−1), respectively. This suggests a virtually synergistic photocatalysis of BPO and BHN when they form a direct solid Z-scheme heterojunction structure, which is favorable for improving UV-light harvesting, hole/electron separation and oxidizing capability. In particular, as a novel non-linear optical (NLO) material, the BHN plays a significant role in the formation of Z-scheme structure for its unique ability of capturing photo-electrons from BPO by high-potential C+face in valence band. This study provides a proof-of-concept strategy to develop more effective photocatalysts for degradation of organic pollutants in water.
