Abstract

A novel heterostructure photocatalysts, Ag-doped Bi5O7I composites (Ag/Bi5O7I), were synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method. Compared with Bi5O7I, Ag/Bi5O7I composites had a stronger light absorption in the visible and near-infrared region and the light absorption edge of Ag/Bi5O7I composites had a slight red shift. Moreover, Ag/Bi5O7I composites possessed a higher photocatalytic activity than Bi5O7I on the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) and methyl orange (MO) under visible-light irradiation (λ ≥ 420 nm). When the content of Ag was 1%, the degradation efficiency of the Ag/Bi5O7I composites toward RhB and MO reached the maximum value, which was about 20.2 and 7.6 times higher than that of Bi5O7I, respectively. The trapping experiments shown that superoxide radicals and holes were the main active species in the photodegradation process. The excellent photocatalytic performance could be attributed to Ag/Bi5O7I heterojunction and surface plasma resonance effect of Ag, which could increase absorption of visible light and cause the efficient separation and migration of carriers.
