A visible-light-sensitive Bi2MoO6–BiOCl heterojunction photocatalyst was synthesized via a hydrothermal process. The as-prepared Bi2MoO6–BiOCl composite shows an irregular multi-plate structure with length ranging from 100 nm to 1 μm, indicating a possibility of the plate-on-plate structure by placing Bi2MoO6 and BiOCl nanoplates over each other. The Bi2MoO6–BiOCl photocatalyst not only had a good visible-light photocatalytic performance, but also exhibited higher photocatalytic activity than pure BiOCl and Bi2MoO6. The optimal Bi2MoO6 content for the photocatalytic activity of the Bi2MoO6–BiOCl composites is 30%. Compared to pure Bi2MoO6 the photoactivity of the Bi2MoO6–BiOCl composites is almost 2.0 times higher for the RhB photodegradation, and 1.5 times higher for the phenol photodegradation under visible light irradiation. The photocatalytic mechanism was elucidated via active species trapping experiments and ESR. The ˙OH and ˙O2− played the key roles in the degradation of RhB via the Bi2MoO6–BiOCl composite. Finally, the possible charge transfer mechanism of the enhanced visible light photocatalytic activity was proposed.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
