Bismuth oxyhalide layered materials for energy and environmental applications

UV Photodetectors Based on BiOCl Nanosheet Arrays: The Effects of Morphologies and Electrode Configurations

“…Bismuth oxide halides, BiOX (X = Cl, Br, I), have layered crystal structures, which consist of tetragonal [Bi 2 O 2 ] 2+ positive slabs interleaved by double negative slabs of halide atoms along the c axis . They have been widely studied for promising applications such as photocatalysts, luminescent materials, and photoelectrochemical devices owing to their layered structures and excellent optical, catalytic, electrical, and luminescent properties.…”

Bismuth‐Based Photocatalysts for Solar Photocatalytic Carbon Dioxide Conversion

“…[14][15][16][17][18][19][20] The size and thickness of BiOX obtained in ethylene glycol was smaller than that of BiOX obtainedi nw ater and ethanol. It can affect size, morphology,a nd surface defects.…”
