Heterostructured compositions of semiconducting photocatalysts can substantially enhance the separation of photogenerated charges due to their improved interphase transfer by heterojunction. In this study, Bi2WO6/TiO2‑N heterostructures were successfully prepared via the hydrothermal method using visible light-active TiO2‑N nanoparticles of anatase phase as the starting material and solutions of Bi(NO3)3 and Na2WO4 as the precursors of Bi2WO6. A ratio between components was varied in a wide range to find the optimum for enhanced activity and stability of the heterostructure. The mechanism of Bi2WO6 nucleation at the presence of TiO2‑N nanoparticles was studied using XRD, high-resolution TEM, EDX, and XRF analyses, whereas the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was employed to explain the synergistic effect of composite system. The optimized Bi2WO6/TiO2‑N composition containing 21 wt% of Bi2WO6 was further decorated with Fe species (0.1 wt%) to boost the visible-light activity. Photocatalytic ability of designed multicomponent Fe/Bi2WO6/TiO2‑N photocatalyst was evaluated in the degradation of acetone and formaldehyde vapor under blue light. In all cases, Fe-decorated Bi2WO6/TiO2‑N heterostructure exhibited higher photocatalytic performance and provided much faster air purification compared to single-component TiO2‑N photocatalyst that confirms a strong potential of its application for visible light-driven degradation of organic micropollutants in air.
