“…[9][10][11] However, the photocatalytic efficiency of pure BiOX is far from efficient for practical applications under visible light. Up to date, some strategies have been carried out, which includes the controlling synthesis of BiOX with specic morphology and structure, [12][13][14][15][16] constructing BiOX-based composites with other semiconductors (such as TiO 2 , 17 ZnO, 18 C 3 N 4 , [19][20][21] AgX, 22 MoS 2 , 23 Ag 3 PO 4 , 24 Bi 2 S 3 , 25 Bi 2 WO 6 , 26 ZnFe 2 O 4 27 ) and doping with metal atoms [28][29][30][31][32] (such as Ag, Al, Fe, Ti, Mn). Besides, some BiOX-BiOY (X, Y ¼ Cl, Br, I) composite systems have also been synthesized very recently, and all the alloyed compounds have been found to be more active than the pure phase.…”
