摘要：

Novel ZnO/Nd-BiOBr composites were facilely synthesized via a surfactant-free chemical approach. The ZnO nanoflakes were loaded on the surface of Nd-BiOBr nanosheets with intimately contact. The synthesized ZnO/Nd-BiOBr demonstrated significantly higher visible light photocatalytic degradation of phenol compared to those of ZnO, BiOBr and Nd-BiOBr. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of ZnO/Nd-BiOBr was attributed to the effective separation of photogenerated electron-hole in the heterojunction structure as proven via the photoluminescence spectra. In addition, the ZnO/Nd-BiOBr showed good stability in phenol degradation for four irradiation cycles. The radical trapping experiments indicated that the hydroxyl radicals played key role in the photodegradation process. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
