AB  - In the research, ultrasonically synthesized Ce(MoO )  nanostructure was coupled with TiO  nanoparticles to synthesize molybdate-based n?n heterostructure photocatalyst (Ce(MoO ) @TiO ). Coupling with TiO  nanoparticles was performed to reduce electron?hole pairs recombination as well as to increase the UV?Vis light absorption thanks to the interface between Ce(MoO )  and TiO . Methyl orange (MO) and rhodamine B (RhB) as the anionic and cationic dyes were applied to investigate the photocatalytic properties of molybdate-based n?n heterostructure under UV?Vis light irradiation. Also, the impact of various TiO  concentrations on the photocatalytic yield was assessed. The photocatalytic yield of Ce(MoO ) @TiO  exhibited a 30% enhancement compared to Ce(MoO ) . In the following, the effects of different parameters such as pH of the solution, catalyst dosage, concentrations of dyes, and various inorganic ions (SO , NO , CO , and Cl ) on the degradation reaction were investigated. DRS results demonstrated that the bandgap of Ce(MoO ) @TiO  (3.3 eV) nanostructure showed a red shift in comparison with Ce(MoO )  (2.69 eV). Under the optimum degradation conditions, approximately 95 and 93% of methyl orange (MO) and rhodamine B (RhB) were degraded after 50 min under UV?Vis irradiation. 4 2 2 4 2 2 2 4 2 2 2 4 2 2 4 2 4 4 2 2 4 2 2? 3? 3? ?
