A controlled anion exchange strategy to synthesize Bi2S3nanocrystals/BiOCl hybrid architectures with efficient visible light photoactivity

Abstract

Bi₂S₃ nanocrystals/BiOCl hybrid architectures with tunable band gaps were synthesized by a controlled anion exchange approach and they displayed highly efficient visible light photoactivities, which is associated with suitable energetics and structural topotactic relationship that can benefit the interfacial charge transfer.
