Facile Solvothermal Synthesis of BiOClZnO Heterostructures with Enhanced Photocatalytic Activity

الملخص EN

Well-defined nanosheet-assembled (BiOCl)x(ZnO)1−x nanoflowers were synthesized by a solvothermal method.

It was found that ZnO nanoparticles were anchored on the flower-like BiOCl nanostructures, as demonstrated by varying the initial compositions of the Bi precursor and the volume ratios of mixed solvents (ethylene glycol to water).

The as-prepared (BiOCl)0.6(ZnO)0.4 nanocomposites showed enhanced photocatalytic activity toward rhodamine B degradation under ultraviolet (UV) irradiation.

And the photocatalytic mechanism was discussed in detail.
