The microsphere Bi2WO6has been synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method by using Bi (NO3)35H2O, H40N10O41W125H2O and CO(NH2)2(urea) as the starting materials. The as-synthesized Bi2WO6was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM),BET and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy. The visible-light-responsive photocatalytic activity of Bi2WO6microspheres was evaluated by the photo-degradation of RhB under Xe lamp irradiation. The degradation is up to 96% in 3h. The results show that microsphere Bi2WO6exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity. The reasons for the high photocatalytic activity have been discussed carefully.

Three-dimensional (3D) BiOBr/BiOI hierarchical microspheres were successfully fabricated on the surface of fly ash cenospheres (FACs) via a facile one-pot solvothermal method for the first time. The as-prepared samples were characterized by XRD, SEM, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, UV–visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The results indicated that the loaded hierarchical microspheres exhibited a uniform distribution, and some aggregation was observed. These well-dispersed hierarchical microspheres were composed of 2D nanosheets, which possess heterojunction structures. Based on the photodegradation tests examining the removal of rhodamine B from water under visible light irradiation (λ > 420 nm), the photocatalytic activity of BiOB/BiOI/FACs was superior to that of BiOBr/FACs and BiOI/FACs. A proposed mechanism for the enhanced photocatalytic activity displayed by BiOB/BiOI/FACs is discussed.

CuInS2/Mg(OH)2 (CIS/Mg(OH)2) nanosheets have been prepared for the visible light activated photodegradation of tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH). The introduction of CuInS2 has proven to enhance the photocatalytic activity of Mg(OH)2 nanosheets. It’s ascribed to the enhanced transfer and separation of charge carriers at the junction interface between CuInS2 and Mg(OH)2. The photocatalytic activity of obtained CIS/Mg(OH)2 is greatly affected by CuInS2 content, pH value, and inorganic ions. Among these samples, 2-CIS/Mg(OH)2 exhibits the excellent photocatalytic activity and durability for the visible light driven removal of TCH after five cycle times. Atomic force microscope (AFM) images indicate that the surface roughness of 2-CIS/Mg(OH)2 is intensively influenced in adsorption-photocatalysis process. The •O2− and •OH radicals are vital for the visible light driven photocatalytic activity of 2-CIS/Mg(OH)2 for TCH removal.
