The invention discloses a CAU-17 / BiOBr composite photocatalyst as well as a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of photocatalytic materials. The preparation method comprises the following steps: by taking CAU-17 as a matrix, adding a Bi < 3 + > source, enabling Bi < 3 + > to be uniformly adsorbed on the surface of the CAU-17, then adding a Br source, enabling generated BiOBr to grow on the CAU-17 in situ through
solvothermal reaction, and fixing the BiOBr on a framework of the CAU-17, so as to obtain the CAU-17 / BiOBr composite photocatalyst. The structure of the catalyst is a
nanorod-shaped structure, and a CAU-17
nanorod is uniformly coated with a BiOBr
nanosheet. The preparation method of the catalyst comprises the following steps: (1) preparing CAU-17; and (2) preparation of the CAU-17 / BiOBr. In the prepared catalyst, CAU-17 is in
close contact with a BiOBr interface, separation of photo-induced
electron-hole pairs on the interface is accelerated, and the specific surface area is increased, so that recombination of carriers at the interface due to non-
close contact of a heterogeneous interface is overcome, and the photocatalytic activity of degrading
organic dye is remarkably enhanced; the photocatalyst has good
photocatalytic degradation capability on RhB and CIP, and the removal rates of the RhB and the CIP are 99.44% and 97.46% respectively.
