Abstract
One-dimensional Bi2WO6 nanofibers have been successfully synthesized by simple electrospinning processes. XRD, SEM and UV–visible diffuse reflectance spectra were used to characterize the nanofibers. The results indicated that the Bi2WO6 was composed of one-dimensional nanofibers, whose diameter was about 50 nm. Besides, the Bi2WO6 nanofibers exhibited excellent visible photocatalytic property in the photodegradation of methylene blue.
