2D/1D Bi12O17Cl2/β-Bi2O3 heterojunction photocatalysts with boosted photocatalytic performance

Abstract

A novel 2D/1D Bi12O17Cl2/β-Bi2O3 heterostructure displays excellent photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange and phenol under solar light irradiation. The enhanced photocatalytic activity is ascribed to the unique vertical 2D Bi12O17Cl2 nanosheets.
