gamma-Bi2MoO6 nanoflakes were successfully synthesized by a mixed-solvothermal process with SDBS involved in the reaction. The as-prepared gamma-Bi2MoO6 was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy. The effect of different ratio of solvents on the resulting products was investigated. The visible-light-responsive photocatalytic activities of the obtained gamma-Bi2MoO6 nanoflakes were evaluated by photodegradation of Rhodamie B under visible light (lambda > 400 nm). The high degradation efficiency of RhB was attributed to the good crystallization and flake-like morphology of gamma-Bi2MoO6 nanostructures, which is in accord with the photocurrent result.
