Bi2WO6g-C3N4, displaying a binary hetero-structure can be prepared by an ultrasonic chemical method. The photocatalytic characteristics of X% (X = 5, 10, 15) Bi2WO6g-C3N4 nanocomposites are investigated for Rhodamine-B (Rh-B(degradation under ultraviolet irradiation. The photocatalytic performance of the Bi₂WO₆/g-C₃N₄ heterojunction was found to strongly depend on the Bi₂WO₆ loading. Among the investigated composites, the 10 % Bi₂WO₆/g-C₃N₄ heterojunction demonstrated the most efficient activity, showing a remarkable ability to degrade 90.1 % of Rhodamine B (Rh-B) within 120 min under UV irradiation. This performance is significantly superior not only to the pristine g-C₃N₄ and Bi₂WO₆ but also to the other heterostructures containing 5 % and 15 % Bi₂WO₆. For instance, pure g-C₃N₄ achieved only 28.99 % degradation of Rh-B under identical conditions, which clearly highlights the enhanced charge separation and improved interfacial interaction in the 10 % Bi₂WO₆/g-C₃N₄ composite. These findings confirm that the optimized 10 % loading provides the best balance between the active surface area, light-harvesting capability, and charge transfer efficiency, leading to a substantial enhancement in photocatalytic activity compared with both the bare components and the other composite ratios. The Z-scheme pathway of the 10 % Bi2WO6g-C3N4 heterojunction demonstrates that this combination able to transfer charges efficiently and that the photogenerated carriers' recombination is suppressed. According to a radical trapping experiment, •O2– and holes (h+) account for the most important reactive species in the Rh-B photolysis. Moreover, the 10 % Bi2WO6g-C3N4 nanocomposite reveals elevated reusability and stability for at least four successive cycles.
