A series of Cu₂O/Bi₂MoO₆ photocatalysts with Z-type heterojunction were prepared by hydrothermal method. The morphology, structural properties, and photoelectrochemical properties of the catalyst were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy, etc. The photocatalytic properties were investigated by tetracycline (TC) degradation. The experimental results showed that the photocatalytic performance of the composite was enhanced by adding Cu₂O. Among them, 20% Cu₂O/Bi₂MoO₆ composite (The mass ratio of Cu₂O and Bi₂MoO₆ was 20%.) exhibited the best degradation efficiency and 95% of TC was degraded within 100 min. The possible mechanism of photocatalytic degradation of TC by the Cu₂O/Bi₂MoO₆ composite was analyzed through free radical capture experiments and band structure analysis. The absorption of visible light is enhanced by the synergistic effect between Cu₂O and Bi₂MoO₆ and the transfer pathway of electrons is changed by the constructed Z-type heterojunction. Thus, the separation efficiency of the electron-hole is improved and the photocatalytic activity is enhanced significantly.
