Abstract

In this study, we synthesized Bi2Mo3O12 and Bi2Mo3O12/MoO3 composites through a simple solution combustion synthesis (SCS) route. The structure, morphology, and photocatalytic property for the degradation of Congo Red (CR) were characterized by x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and ultraviolet–visible spectrophotometer absorption spectroscopy. The phases of the samples were characterized to be Bi2Mo3O1and Bi2Mo3O12/MoO3. The SEM results showed Bi2Mo3O12 particles were uniformly distributed on the MoO3 sheets. Bi2Mo3O12 and MoO3 in the Bi2Mo3O12/MoO3 composites were clearly demonstrated by the lattice spacing from high-resolution transmission electron microscopy results. The maximum degradation rate of Bi2Mo3O12/MoO3 composite was 83% at 60 min, showing excellent photocatalytic performance. A possible mechanism is proposed for the degradation of CR over Bi2Mo3O12/MoO3 composites, in which h+ and ·O2− are the main active species and play an important role in the degradation of pollutants.
