A novel Bi2O4@TiO2 heterojunction was constructed by a simple two-step method. The charges migration between Bi2O4 and TiO2 via the heterojunction improves the electron/hole separation efficiency. Furthermore, Bi2O4@TiO2 heterostructures exhibit better adsorption capability for methyl orange molecular due to their higher specific surface area than pure Bi2O4. As a result, Bi2O4@TiO2 hybrids show an improved visible light photocatalytic activity and photostability for the degradation of methyl orange.
