This study explores the efficiency of heterogeneous photocatalysis in wastewater treatment, which is recognized for inducing significant rates degradation and mineralization various contaminants, including dyes. The focuses on development an innovative composite via a combination sillenite type semiconductor Bi12ZnO20 halide-type AgI. Both semiconductors were synthesized co-precipitation, their phases identified using X-ray diffraction characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller analysis specific surface area, UV–Visible diffuse reflectance point zero charge. evaluation photocatalytic activity Bi12ZnO20/AgI heterosystem was carried out monitoring process Basic Blue 41 (BB41) under solar irradiation conditions. results this revealed that achieved efficient BB41, with removal rate 98% after 150 min treatment. showed TOC value decreased from 19.89 mg L−1 to 6.87 L−1, indicating portion BB41 mineralized. Via kinetic research, it established followed pseudo-first-order mechanism. Furthermore, recycling tests heterostructures maintained good structural stability acceptable reusability over several cycles. These findings highlight potential as promising approach addressing environmental challenges associated azo
