Abstract Bi/BiOBr nanocomposites with tunable Bi content and oxygen vacancies were prepared via a facile one-pot solvothermal method by adjusting the relative molar ratio of Bi precursor and bromide salt. Detailed characterizations showed that Bi nanoparticles and oxygen-vacancies on the {110}-plane of BiOBr were fabricated simultaneously in this process and ethylene glycol(EG) used as solvent afforded reduction of Bi3+ to metallic Bi and coinstantaneous conformation of oxygen vacancy. The photocatalytic performance showed that the Bi/BiOBr nanocomposites exhibited superior photocatalytic activity to their counterparts in degrading aqueous Cr(Ⅵ) and methylene blue(MB), and the removal efficiency of Bi/BiOBr was highly dependent on the content of Bi and oxygen vacancy. Among all as-prepared samples, the sample with a Bi loading of 5.0% exhibited the highest photocatalytic activity with Cr(Ⅵ) and MB removal rates up to 97.3% and 90.5% within 4 h's visible light irradiation, respectively. The mechanism study demonstrated that the remarkable visible light driven photo-activity of Bi/BiOBr nanocomposites were described to the synergy of the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect of metallic Bi and oxygen vacancies, which contributed to enhance the visible light harvesting and the separation efficiency of photo-generated electron-hole pairs. The present work provided a new method to the design of heterostructure materials with controllable Bi content and concomitant formation of oxygen vacancies.
