Abstract

A one-dimensional WO<sub>3</sub>–Bi<sub>2</sub>WO<sub>6</sub> photocatalyst exhibits high photocatalytic activity for the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) under solar light irradiation, which is attributed to the effective separation of photogenerated electron–hole pairs by the staggered band potentials between WO<sub>3</sub> and Bi<sub>2</sub>WO<sub>6</sub>.
