This study utilized X-diffraction, BET, photoluminescence, UV–vis DRS, FTIR, SEM, XPS, TOC analysis, EPR, electrochemical measurements, and LC-MS to characterize the structural characteristics, morphology, optical properties, photocatalytic activity, surface electronic states, active compounds, and potential photodegradation pathways of rhodamine B (RhB) over as-prepared Bi2O3. The as-prepared Bi2O3 photocatalyst exhibited a narrow bandgap, which enabled efficient absorption of visible light, thereby contributing to its enhanced photocatalytic...
