A novel visible-light-driven layered photocatalyst of Bi-based PbBiO2Cl is prepared by solid-state reaction. The optical band gap of PbBiO2Cl is determined to be 2.45 eV by UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. Generally, the photocatalytic activity for degrading methyl orange (MO) over PbBiO2Cl is higher than that over anatase-type TiO2 under UV light and visible light illumination. The RuO2 loading over PbBiO2Cl leads to an obvious increase in photocatalytic performance. The internal electric fields between [PbBiO2] and [Cl] slabs are considered to be useful for the efficient separation of electron-hole pairs upon photoexcitation. (C) 2009 Elsevier Masson SAS.
