Abstract Novel Na3Bi(PO4)2 nanostructures were synthesized for the first time by a facile hydrothermal reaction. Ag2O nanoparticles were deposited on the surface of Na3Bi(PO4)2 nanostructures by the chemical precipitation method. The photocatalytic performance of the pure Ag2O nanoparticles, Na3Bi(PO4)2 nanostructures and Ag2O/Na3Bi(PO4)2 heterogeneous nanostructures were evaluated by photocatalytic decolorization of Rhodamine B (RhB) solution under visible-light irradiation. Compared with the pure Na3Bi(PO4)2 nanostructures, the Ag2O/Na3Bi(PO4)2 heterogeneous nanostructures exhibited an obviously enhanced photocatalytic activity. And the photocatalytic stability of the Ag2O/Na3Bi(PO4)2 heterogeneous nanostructures is much higher than that of the Ag2O nanoparticles.
