A novel Bi2O3/Cs3PW12O40 (Bi2O3/CsPW) composite was prepared by depositing Bi2O3 on the surface of spherical Cs3PW12O40. The synthesized photocatalyst was characterized using XRD, XPS, FT-IR, BET, SEM, TEM, and UV–Vis. The results revealed that the composite was a typical Keggin-type photocatalyst. Compared with pure Bi2O3 and CsPW, the composite exhibited high photocatalytic degradation activity for rhodamine B (RhB). The 10% Bi2O3/CsPW nanocomposite could decompose 92.7% of RhB under visible-light irradiation for 240 min. The improved photoc...
