BiVO₄/BiPO₄ composites with different n_V/n_P molar ratios were synthesized by a simple one-pot hydrothermal method. The n_V/n_P molar ratios were 0.1/9.9, 0.5/9.5, 1/9, 3/7, and 5/5, respectively. The BiVO₄/BiPO₄ composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscope, energy-dispersive spectroscopy, Raman spectrum, UV-Vis spectrophotometer, UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and electrochemical impedance spectra. The photocatalytic activities of BiVO₄/BiPO₄ composites were evaluated by the degradation of methylene blue (MB) under visible light irradiation (λ>420 nm). When the ratios of the BiVO₄/BiPO₄ composites were less than 3/7, the photocatalytic activities of BiVO₄/BiPO₄ composites were enhanced with an increasing amount of BiVO₄. The result showed that the BiVO₄/BiPO₄ composite ratio for n_V/n_P=3/7 possessed the highest photocatalytic activity. The BiVO₄/BiPO₄ composite ratio for n_V/n_P=3/7 possessed the maximal k value of 0.005 1 min^-1. It is 23.2 times of the pure BiPO₄. The photocatalytic mechanism of the BiVO₄/BiPO₄ composites could be mainly ascribed to the existence of BiVO₄ which could accelerate the separation and migration efficiency of photogenerated carriers.
