Hierarchical Bi2O2CO3/Bi2MoO6 heterostructured photocatalysts composed of nanoplatelets of Bi2O2CO3 and Bi2MoO6 were successfully prepared by a facile template-free solvothermal process. The microsphere-like Bi2O2CO3/Bi2MoO6 composites exhibited superior visible light photocatalytic activity towards degradation of rhodamine B. The highest degradation efficiency was observed on the material with the Bi/Mo molar ratio of 2.88/1, which can degrade 99% rhodamine B within 90 min, while only 44% rhodamine B was degraded over the pure Bi2MoO6 microspheres and 2% over the Bi2O2CO3 nanoplatelets. The dramatic enhancement in their photocatalytic performance of the Bi2O2CO3/Bi2MoO6 photocatalysts can be attributed to the high surface area and the effective separation of the photoinduced carriers at the interfaces and in the semiconductors. The photo-generated h+(VB) in the Bi2O2CO3/Bi2MoO6 photocatalysts turn out to be the dominant active species in the photocatalytic reaction. Importantly, Bi2O2CO3/Bi2MoO6 displayed visible-light photocatalytic activity for the destruction of E. coli (the percent kill is 99.09 in 60 min). In addition, the Bi2O2CO3/Bi2MoO6 composite was very stable during the reaction and can be used repeatedly. These features mean the present heterostructured photocatalyst can be applied in environmental remediation, and waste water disinfection.
