Bi<sub>2sub>S<sub>3sub>/Bi<sub>2sub>WO<sub>6sub> hybrids with exposed (020) Bi<sub>2sub>WO<sub>6sub> facets have been synthesized.
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy reveals that a small amount of Bi<sub>2sub>S<sub>3sub> was formed.
The enhanced photoactivity of hybrids is due to heterojunction and (020) facets.
A possible photocatalytic degradation mechanism is proposed.
