Abstract
As an important kind of visible-light driven photocatalysts for wastewater treatment without secondary pollution, bismuth oxyhalides (BiOX, X = Cl, Br, I) are typically synthesized by the solvothermal method in sealed autoclaves, which presents many limitations for practical application. In this work, a series of hierarchical BiOX (X = Cl, Br, I) microsheets were first prepared by the facile halogenation process of a new bismuth metal
