In this work, various Bi-based photocatalysts were prepared via a facile calcination process by using BiOIO₃ as precursor. The microstructure, phase composition, and optical properties of these samples have been systematically studied by a series of characterization techniques. The photoactivities of these as-prepared samples were evaluated by the photodegradation of endocrine disruptor bisphenol A (BPA) under visible light (λ>420 nm) irradiation. The results showed that after calcination at 450 ℃ in air, BiOIO₃ was completely changed into Bi₅O₇I nanosheets, and the degradation efficiency for BPA could reach 99.3% within 60 min. Meanwhile, after 5 photodegradation cycles, the degradation rate of BPA by Bi₅O₇I could still reach 97%, exhibiting remarkable reusability. However, Bi₅O₇I exhibited a wide band gap and could only absorb a small part of visible light. The surface interaction between BPA and Bi₅O₇I might be responsible for its visible light reactivity. To investigate the photocatalytic mechanism, UV‐Vis diffuse reflectance spectra (UV‐Vis DRS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and electrochemical experiments were performed on Bi₅O₇I before and after BPA adsorption. UV‐Vis DRS showed that Bi₅O₇I displayed enhanced absorption in the visible light region after modified by BPA. The intensive visible light harvesting property of Bi₅O₇I might be caused by ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) mechanism. XPS results confirmed the existence of a strong interaction between BPA and Bi₅O₇I, which might ascribe to surface complexation of BPA on Bi₅O₇I. Besides, the modification of Bi₅O₇I by BPA facilitated the migration and separation of photo-generated electron (e^-) and hole (h⁺). Quenching experiments revealed that superoxide radical (·O₂^-), h⁺ and hydroxyl radical (·OH) were all participated in the photocatalytic reaction system. Combined with characterizations and experimental data, the mechanism of enhanced photodegradation performance through LMCT photosensitization mechanism between Bi₅O₇I and BPA was proposed.
