Abstract

Abstract Silver doped Bi 2 O 3 photocatalysts with different molar ratio of Ag/Bi have been prepared by a co-precipitation method using AgNO 3 as Ag source. The as-prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS). The XRD and TEM results showed that the samples were mainly composed of the nanosheets with high crystallinity. Ag doped Bi 2 O 3 nanosheets exhibted the high absorportion in visible light region. Methyl orange (MO) photocatalytic degradation experiments showed that 3 mol% Ag doped Bi 2 O 3 showed higher photocatalytic activity than the pristine Bi 2 O 3 under visible light irradiation. The doping structure was not only responsible for the high visible light absorption but also played a vital role in improving the separation of photo-induced electrons and holes. The electron transfer mechanism was proposed.
