Description

Highlights: • ZnO/Bi2MoO6/AgBr nanocomposites as efficient photocatalysts are reported. • The ZnO/Bi2MoO6/AgBr (20%) nanocomposite exhibited the highest activity. • Activity was 76.4-folds greater than ZnO in RhB degradation under visible light. • The enhanced activity was attributed to tandem n-n heterojunctions.
