Abstract: | The one-dimensional ZnWO4@SnWO4 photocatalyst with a core-shell heterostructure was successfully constructed by a simple two-step method. It is interesting to note that ZnWO4@SnWO4 composite photocatalyst owns a higher photocatalytic activity for RhB degradation under visible light irradiation. The introduction of SnWO4 shell layer, which forms a clear heterogenous interface between ZnWO4 and SnWO4, increases the photo-absorption efficiency of ZnWO4 nanorods. In addition, its band-edge absorption evidently shifts toward the visible region. Based on the photoelectrochemical (PEC) and electron spin resonance (ESR) measurements, it is found that the photocatalytic activity was attributed to the efficient separation and transfer of photo-generated charge carriers. Hence, they can produced more hydroxyl radical (OH) as the main active species in the photocatalytic reaction process. |
