A novel heterostructured MgFe2O4/Bi2MoO6 composites were rationally designed and successfully synthesized firstly by a successive hydrothermal process and in-situ ball-milling followed by high temperature calcination technology. The investigation showed that the MgFe2O4 nanoparticles were closely anchored on the surface and edge of Bi2MoO6 nanoplates. Under visible-light illumination, the 20 wt% MgFe2O4/Bi2MoO6 samples showed the highest photocatalytic activity for the degradation of Malachite Green (MG) with 120 min and had the maximum of reaction rate constant (0.0113 min−1), which was approximately 8.07 times than that of pure Bi2MoO6 (0.0014 min−1). Moreover, the effects of MG concentration, coexisting ions, and water sources for photocatalytic activity were also investigated. The detection of reactive species demonstrated that the ∙O2– and h+ were playing important roles during MG removal process. Besides, the Z-scheme transfer mechanism of photoexcited electron-hole over composite were proved by using nitrotetrazolium blue chloride (NBT, ∙O2– trapping agent) and terephthalic acid (TA, ∙OH trapping agent) trapping methods. The significant improvement of photocatalytic performance can be predominantly interpreted as enhancing light harvesting ability, increasing charge carriers density as well as the formation of Z-scheme system between Bi2MoO6 and MgFe2O4 semiconductor.
