AgBr-BiOBr heterojunction photocatalysts with varying loadings of AgBr (0.5 wt%) lead to isolated AgBr species and reduced photocatalytic activity. Among such catalysts, the AgBr (0.2 wt%)-BiOBr exhibits the highest visible-light-responsive photoactivity, which can decolorize Rhodamine B within 30 min. However, these AgBr-BiOBr materials gradually lost their photoactivity in the cycling photocatalytic tests. Possible mechanisms for both the enhanced photocatalytic activity and deactivation of the AgBr-BiOBr heterojunctions were proposed on basis of theoretical speculation and experimental observations.
