In this work,novel heterostructured InVO4/BiPO4 composite photocatalysts were fabricated through a hydrothermal route. The XRD,SEM,EDX and XPS results indicated the as-prepared sample is a two-phase composite of InVO4 and BiPO4. The photocatalytic performances of the as-prepared composites were measured through the degradation of phenol red aqueous solution under visible light( λ 420 nm). The results showed that the as-fabricated InVO4/BiPO4 photocatalysts displayed much higher photocatalytic activities than that of pure InVO4 and pure BiPO4. Among them,the 1InVO4: 1BiPO4 composite performed the best. The enhanced photocatalytic performance was attributed mainly to the formation of heterojunction interface in InVO4/BiPO4 composites,which is beneficial to the transfer and separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs,as well as the enhanced visible light absorption due to the sensitization role of InVO4 to BiPO4. The possible photocatalytic mechanism of InVO4/BiPO4 composite was also discussed. Superoxide radicals were the major active species.
