“…4,5 Developing an efficient photocatalyst is one of the most crucial factors in photocatalytic technology. Among the various photocatalysts, bismuth-based compounds, such as Bi 2 WO 6 , 6–8 Bi 2 MoO 6 , 9 and bismuth oxyhalides (BiOX, X = Cl, Br, I), 10–12 have attracted much attention because of their rich sources, low toxicity or non-toxicity, and good photocatalytic activity under ultraviolet or visible light. As members of the bismuth family, BiOX have been reported as promising photocatalysts due to their unique layered structures, which can induce an internal electrostatic field and thus accelerate the separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers.…”
