Abstract Photocatalytic technology can completely efficiently degrade the dyes and other pollutants in the organic wastewater at room temperature and atmospheric pressure。 In this paper, we studied the photocatalytic properties of the new composite photocatalyst g-C3N4/BiOI/Ag3PO4 under visible light。 We characterized the crystal structure, surface morphology and optical absorption properties of the related photocatalyst by X ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and UV VIS spectrophotometer。 Then we studied light degradation behavior of the prepared photocatalyst under visible light with Rhodamine B (RhB), methyl blue (MB) and methyl orange (MO)。 The results show that compared with the original photocatalyst g-C3N4, composite photocatalyst g-C3N4/BiOI/Ag3PO4 not only enhances the catalytic activity, but also has a high efficient stable catalytic activity。 This research provides a new idea for the design and development of heterojunction composite nano materials which can greatly improve the utilization of solar energy。
