文摘As a two dimensional(2D)visible‐light‐responsive semiconductor photocatalyst,the photoreactivity of Bi2WO6 is not high enough for practical application owing to its limited response to visible light and rapid recombination of photogenerated electron‐hole pairs.In this paper,2D core‐shell structured Bi2WO6@Bi2S3 nanoplates were prepared by calcination of a mixture of Bi2WO6(1.3 g)and a certain amount of Na2S·9H2O(0–3.0 g)at 350°C for 2 h.The reactivity of the resulting photocatalyst materials was evaluated by photocatalytic degradation of Brilliant Red X‐3B(X3B),an anionic dye,under visible light irradiation(?>420 nm).As the amount of Na2S·9H2O was increased from 0 to 1.5 g,the degradation rate constant of X3B sharply increased from 0.40×10?3 to 6.6×10?3 min?1.The enhanced photocatalytic activity of Bi2WO6@Bi2S3 was attributed to the photosensitization of Bi2S3,which greatly extended the light‐responsive range from the visible to the NIR,and the formation of a heterojunction,which retarded the recombination rate of photogenerated electron‐hole pairs.However,further increases in the amount of Na2S·9H2O(from 1.5 to 3.0 g)resulted in a decrease of the photocatalytic activity of the Bi2WO6@Bi2S3 nanoplates owing to the formation of a photo‐inactive NaBiS2 layer covering the Bi2WO6 surface.
