BiOBr nanosheets were loaded onto SnO2 quantum dots, ZnO nanosheets, and SnO2/ZnO‐2 (SZ‐2) to form different heterojunction photocatalysts by sonochemistry, respectively. The photocatalytic activity of the prepared photocatalysts was evaluated by degrading the target dye Rhodamine B (RhB). The results showed that the degradation efficiency of BiOBr/SnO2/ZnO (BSZ) for RhB reached 97.5% at 80 min. The significant increase in catalytic activity of BSZ was attributed to the synergistic and interfacial effects among the three materials. Combined with the radical trapping experiments, it can be concluded that the catalytic mechanism of BSZ as a dual Z‐type heterojunction.
