Enhanced photocatalytic performance of boron doped Bi2WO6 nanosheets under simulated solar light irradiation

•Boron was doped into Bi2WO6 using hydrothermal method.•Doping with boron enhanced the photoactivity of Bi2WO6 to rhodamine B under simulated solar light.•The catalyst doped with 0.5% boron atoms displayed the highest catalytic activity.•Boron atoms could act as electron traps to separate the electr...
