Visible-light-induced Bi(2)WO(6) photocatalyst has been successfully synthesized via a facile low-temperature combustion synthesis method, using glycine as the fuel. The photocatalytic activities of the as-synthesized samples were evaluated by the photodegradation of rhodamine B (RhB) and phenol und...
