An efficient SrMoO4 photocatalyst was fabricated by Bi3+ doping under hydrothermal condition.
Bi3+ doping effects, including crystalline size reduction, band gap narrowing, and lattice contraction were discovered in SrMoO4 nanomaterials.
The photocatalytic activity was great improved on account of Bi3+ doping effects.
Photoluminescence studies found that hydroxyl radical (OH) is the main active species in the photocatalytic degradation process.
