Abstract: AgInS2 and AgInS2 with different ratios of Bi3+(denoted as Bi-AgInS2) were prepared by the low temperature liquid method. The visible light photocatalytic activities of AgInS2 and Bi-AgInS2 were studied through the degradation of Rhodamine B(RhB) and 4-nitrophenol(PNP). The experimental results displayed that the prepared samples without adding Bi3+ were orthorhombic phase AgInS2, while samples were face-centered cubic structure when different amount of Bi3+ were added into AgInS2. The addition of Bi3+ did not change the elements oxidation state in the AgInS2, but enhanced the binding ability of Ag+ to electrons, and weakened the binding ability of S2- to electrons. As the amount of Bi3+ increased, the visible light absorption abilities of the samples increased, but the emission intensities decreased. Bi-AgInS2 with the optimal ratio(Bi3+ ∶In3+=14.3∶2.7) showed the highest visible light photocatalytic activity for the degradations of RhB and PNP.
