Abstract
A novel Bi 2 O 3 –Bi 2 WO 6 p–n junction photocatalyst exhibits high photocatalytic activity for the degradation of organic compounds under solar/visible light irradiation, which is ascribed to the effective separation of photogenerated electrons and holes by the internal electrostatic field in the junction region.Keywords
