ABSTRACTVisible-light photocatalytic property of TiO2 / WO3 / FTO multi-layer structure was investigated. In this structure, the visible-light absorption takes place in the WO3 layer, and generated electrons and holes diffuse into the FTO and TiO2 layers, respectively. The holes diffused into the valence band of the TiO2 layer produce the hydroxyl radicals due to oxidation of H2O and/or OH− adsorbed on the TiO2 surface. The FTO bottom layer, which acts as a scavenger of electrons, contributes to an effective charge separation. As a result, the visible-light photocatalysis is enhanced in this structure.

ZnO/Bi4V2O[Formula: see text] nanocomposites were prepared via a facile hydrothermal method by loading different amounts of ZnO onto the surface of Bi4V2O[Formula: see text]. The resulting ZnO/Bi4V2O[Formula: see text] composites showed excellent photocatalytic activity than that of pure ZnO under visible light irradiation. When the ratio of ZnO to Bi4V2O[Formula: see text] was 1:1 (ZB2), the photocatalytic activity was best, which could degrade RhB almost completely within 30[Formula: see text]min. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of ZnO/Bi4V2O[Formula: see text] composites could be mainly ascribed to the efficient charge separation and the increased specific surface area. Based on the experimental and bandgap calculations, a possible photocatalytic mechanism was proposed.
