To investigate the photocatalytic mechanism of the
Ag/Ag PO /Bi MoO hybrid, the effect of scavengers on the
degradation of Rh B was tested in the photocatalytic oxidation
process and the results are shown in Fig. 7. As revealed in Fig. 7,

under the visible-light irradiation of the Ag/Ag PO /Bi MoO sample,
the photodegradation rate of Rh B had slight decrease after the
addition of hydroxyl radical scavenger IPA, indicating that •OH was
not the main reactive specie in the photocatalytic process. In
contrast, the photocatalytic degradation of Rh B was significantly
repressed in presence of EDTA-2Na and BQ. According to these
