Environmental　photocatlytsis　has　been　considered　as　a　promising　alternative　strategy　to　address　the　current　environmental　threats　and　pressures.　Fabrication　of　the　photocatalysts　with　high　efficiency,　stability　and　bio-safety　is　the　core　of　photocatalytic　applications.　Herein,　we　report　a　facile　approach　to　synthesize　monazite　BiPO4　(SHTW)　with　high　crystallization　and　hydroxylation.　The　wide　bandgap　of　the　SHTW　can　provide　strong　redox　abilities　to　produce　reactive　species　and　mineralize　organic　pollutants.　Its　high　crystallinity　and　dipole　moment　can　promote　separation　and　transportation　of　the　photoexcited　electron-hole　pairs　effectively.　In　addition,　the　hydroxylation　can　produce　more　highly　oxidizing　hydroxyl　radicals　and　further　improve　charge　carrier　separation.　Notably,　the　hydroxylation　can　be　reborn　and　the　high　crystallization　can　be　maintained　during　photocatalysis.　Thus,　a　virtuous　cycle　can　be　established　and　organic　pollutants　can　be　removed　efficiently.　The　mineralization　rate　of　146.1　μmol　g−1　h−1　can　be　obtained　on　the　SHTW　for　photocatalytic　degradation　of　benzene,　which　is　about　8.5　times　higher　than　that　of　the　commercial　TiO2　(P25).　Various　dyes,　dyes　mixture　and　bisphenol　A　can　all　be　completely　degraded　over　the　SHTW.　It　shows　the　potential　application　and　value　in　environmental　governance.　©　2020　Elsevier　B.V.
