| Abstract: | A novel visible light-responsive homogeneous catalyst based on Bi2WO6 quantum dots (QDs-BWO)/Bi2WO6 nanosheets (N-BWO) was successfully fabricated through a simple hydrothermal method. A variety of techniques were employed to investigate the morphology, structure, and electronic properties of the samples. The photocatalytic performance of the QDs/N-BWO materials was investigated by monitoring the degradation of 4-chlorophenol and rhodamine B under visible light irradiation. The as-fabricated QDs/N-BWO materials showed higher photocatalytic activity than both QDs-BWO and N-BWO. The results reveal that the incorporation of the QDs improved the separation efficiency of electron-hole pairs, leading to enhanced photocatalytic activity. Moreover, the results of quenching experiments show that ·O2– species played a major role in the degradation process. This work provides an important reference for the fabrication of homogeneous catalysts with high performance in the degradation of different types of pollutants. |
