One-pot solvothermal syntheses of ternary heterostructured TiO2-Bi2MoO6/Bi3.64Mo0.36O6.55 controllable in terms of composition, morphology and structure: Materials of high visible-light driven photocatalytic activity

Novel trinary heterostructured TiO2-Bi2MoO6/Bi3.64Mo0.36O6.55 are synthesized by one-pot template-free solvothermal method. The compositions, morphologies and structures of the photocatalysts can be well controlled by adjusting the pH values, the ratio of alcohol/water and the content of TiO2 loading. And reasonable formation mechanisms and photocatalytic mechanism for the heterostructured photocatalysts are put forward, which provide a new photocatalytic reaction mode.
