One of the biggest social, economic, and scientific challenge of the present and the near future is to address environmental and global climate change issues. These concerns including the production of drinking water and the treatment of industrial wastewaters in a way that protects the environment and be harmless to human health. Various regulatory limits our disposal that seek to regulate pollutant emissions, unfortunately many countries persistently exceed their emission/pollution levels. In recent decades, in addition to traditional water treatment processes, alternative processes have been developed to eliminate organic pollutants such as textile dyes, pesticides and herbicides used in agriculture. One such group of solution could be the so-called “Advanced oxidation processes (AOP)”, which includes methods that degrade organic pollutants using various redox reactions into less toxic compounds, preferably water and carbon dioxide. Among AOP/s the heterogeneous photocatalysis prominently investigated, in which a semiconductor catalyst is able to decompose contaminants in water by excitation with light of a suitable wavelength. The best-known semiconductor photocatalyst is titanium-dioxide (TiO2), but scientific interest has long been directed to other semiconductors such as bismuth oxohalides (BiOX, X = Cl, Br, I), which are considered highly potential catalysts under UV and visible irradiation. After production, BiOX do not require further modifcations to be excitable by visible light (natural or artificial), which can greatly reduce operating costs
