The rational design and construction of heterojunction structure is an effective strategy to improve the photocatalytic performance. Herein, a series of BiOBr nanosheets-immobilized TiO₂/Ti₃C₂T_x MXene hybrid materials with heterojunction structure were synthesized by a facial one-step hydrothermal method. The ternary composites show outstanding performance as photocatalysts for the degradation of rhodamine B due to the optimized synergetic effects of BiOBr, TiO₂ and Ti₃C₂T_x. The improved photocatalytic performance is remarkably attributed to the construction of a heterojunction between TiO₂ and BiOBr due to their well-matching of energy band position, which can enhance the absorption for visible light and promote the transfer of photo-generated charge carriers. Moreover, Ti₃C₂T_x acts as an electron trap to further accelerate the separation of photo-generated electrons and holes.
