Abstract

Bismuth oxyhalide (BiOX, X = Cl, Br, and I) nanomaterials have received more and more interest as promising photocatalysts because of their unique layered structures, suitable band structure, nontoxicity, as well as their chemical and optical stability. These BiOX photocatalysts integrate the synergistic effects of the individual species, enabling increased light harvesting and prolonged carrier lifetime, thus enhancing the catalytic performance. They have great potential application in photocatalytic organic pollutant decomposition for environment remediation. In this chapter, we focus on research into improving the photocatalytic activities of BiOX nanostructures on the basis of morphology modulation and functional structural design. Recent advances and emerging strategies in tailoring the morphology and structure, including shape, size, surface area, and dimension, are surveyed. Furthermore, we highlight some crucial issues in the development of BiOX for environmental protection, and also give tentative suggestions on increasing their photocatalytic performance.
