Summary: A novel 1D/2D Bi2O2CO3-Bi2WO6 heterostructure with high photocatalytic activity was synthesized by high temperature calcination of Bi (OHC2O4)center dot 2H(2)O/Bi2WO6 precursors in CO2. The synergistic effects of the unique 1D/2D heterostructure and the high-quality interface between Bi2O2CO3 and Bi2WO6 contributed to the enhanced photocatalytic performance, where O-2(-) and photogenerated holes played key roles in the photodegradation process. This study offers a simple and general method for synthesizing 1D/2D heterostructures with excellent photocatalytic performance.
