| Summary: | In this study, Bi<sub>2</sub>MoO<sub>6</sub> nanoflowers with different molybdenum sources were in situ grown on the surface of g-C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub> nanosheets (OCN) by a simple one-step solvothermal method. The effects of doping and different molybdenum sources on the photocatalytic degradation and bactericidal activity of Bi<sub>2</sub>MoO<sub>6</sub>/OCN were discussed. Among them, the solvothermal preparation of P-Bi<sub>2</sub>MoO<sub>6</sub>/OCN using phosphomolybdic acid as molybdenum source can make up for the shortcomings caused by the destruction of OCN structure by generating more lattice defects to promote charge separation and constructing Lewis acid/base sites to effectively improve the photocatalytic performance. In addition, by adding phosphoric acid to increase the P-doped content, more exposed alkaline active sites are induced on the surface of P-Bi<sub>2</sub>MoO<sub>6</sub>/OCN, as well as larger specific surface area and charge transfer efficiency, which further improve the photocatalytic performance. Finally, the optimized 16P-Bi<sub>2</sub>MoO<sub>6</sub>/OCN showed a degradation rate of 99.7% for 20 mg/L rhodamine B (RhB) within 80 min under visible light, and the antibacterial rates against <i>E. coli</i>, <i>S. aureus</i> and <i>P. aeruginosa</i> within 300 min were 99.58%, 98.20% and 97.48%, respectively. This study provides a reference for optimizing the synthesis of environmentally friendly, solar-responsive, photocatalytic sterilization materials from the perspective of preparation, raw materials and structure. |
