Visible-light-sensitive crystalline red phosphorus (P) nanorod composited with SrTiO3 (STO) particles have been successfully assembled via a solid-state reaction routine, wherein STO nanoparticles were immobilized on the surface of P nanorods. The obtained crystalline P/STO heterostructured composites with an intimate interfacial contact facilitate efficient charge separation and transfer of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, and the P nanorods with a large exposed surface exhibit strong Vis-light absorption. Therefore, by adjusting different molar ratio and calcination temperature, the P-2.0/STO-700 degrees C composites presented the best photocatalytic activities of RhB degradation and hydrogen evolution (169.95 mu molh(-1) g(-1)) and possessed high stability during three cycling experiments. The reaction rate constant (k(app)) of the optimum P-2.0/STO-700 degrees C composites is about 215 times and 11.3 times as high as that of pristine STO and P, respectively. In this paper, the crystalline, morphologies and optical properties of the as-prepared photocatalysts were sufficiently studied via various characterization techniques. Meanwhile, a reasonable charge transfer mechanism on P/STO composites was brought up and a trapping experiment was analysized in detail. This research provides some perspectives for the future development of P-based photocatalytic materials.
