AB  - Photocatalysis has been gaining a growing popularity in water treatment, and 
      their engineered applications inspire the development of effective photocatalyst 
      materials. To develop photocatalyst that is effective for degradation of organic 
      pollutants, we fabricate a novel direct solid Z-scheme 
      BiPO(4)-Bi(2)O(2)(OH)(NO(3)) (BPO-BHN) heterojunction structured hybrid. The 
      results demonstrate an enhanced photocatalytic activity of BPO-BHN to produce OH 
      radicals, according to diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), electron 
      spin-resonance resonance (ESR), photoelectrochemical measurements, and 
      theoretical calculation results. The BPO-BHN is shown to greatly promote the 
      degradation of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) under ultraviolet light. On the basis 
      of pseudo-first-order kinetics, the apparent degradation rate constant (k(app)) 
      of 0.050 min(-1) obtained for BPO-BHN is approximately 3.33 and 12.5 times of 
      that for individual BPO (k(app) = 0.015 min(-1)) and BHN 
      (k(app) = 0.004 min(-1)), respectively. This suggests a virtually synergistic 
      photocatalysis of BPO and BHN when they form a direct solid Z-scheme 
      heterojunction structure, which is favorable for improving UV-light harvesting, 
      hole/electron separation and oxidizing capability. In particular, as a novel 
      non-linear optical (NLO) material, the BHN plays a significant role in the 
      formation of Z-scheme structure for its unique ability of capturing 
      photo-electrons from BPO by high-potential C(+) face in valence band. This study 
      provides a proof-of-concept strategy to develop more effective photocatalysts for 
      degradation of organic pollutants in water.
