AB - The hydrothermal method is used to fabricate the TiO2/BiOBr composite. The  X-ray diffraction, SEM, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and  ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy are employed to  characterize its crystal structure, physical morphology, chemical  composition, and light absorption. Its photocatalytic performance and  stability are analyzed by the photocatalytic degradation rate of rhodamine  B solution under sunlight irradiation. The composite exhibits the optimal  photocatalytic effect when the Ti:Bi molar ratio is 4:1.
