Abstract AgBr/Bi 3 O 4 Br composite was successfully prepared via one-step ionic reaction between Bi 3 O 4 Br and AgNO 3 solution, and characterized by multi techniques including XRD, Raman, XPS, DRS, PL and transient photocurrent response. Results indicate the synthesized AgBr/Bi 3 O 4 Br composite is actually a ternary system of Ag/AgBr/Bi 3 O 4 Br, which displays excellent photocatalytic activity in Rhodamine B degradation due to the contribution of AgBr and Ag in charge separation. 5% AgBr/Bi 3 O 4 Br composite has the highest photocatalytic efficiency with a degradation rate of 0.032 min −1 , which is 2.5 times higher than that of pure Bi 3 O 4 Br.
