In this work, TiO2nanorods were prepared by a hydrothermal process and then Bi2MoO6nanoparticles were deposited onto the TiO2nanorods by a solvothermal process. The nanostructured Bi2MoO6/TiO2composites were extensively characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The photocatalytic activity of the Bi2MoO6/TiO2composites was evaluated by degradation of methylene blue. The Bi2MoO6/TiO2composites exhibit higher catalytic activity than pure Bi2MoO6and TiO2for degradation of methylene blue under visible light irradiation (λ>420nm). Further investigation revealed that the ratio of Bi2MoO6to TiO2in the composites greatly influenced their photocatalytic activity. The experimental results indicated that the composite with Bi2MoO6:TiO2=1:3 exhibited the highest photocatalytic activity. The enhancement mechanism of the composite catalysts was also discussed.
