Surface acid etching of (BiO)2CO3 to construct (BiO)2CO3/BiOX (X = Cl, Br, I) heterostructure for methyl orange removal under visible light

A series of (BiO)2CO3/BiOX (X = Cl, Br, I) heterostructured photocatalysts were synthesized through acid etching method and characterized by XRD, DRS, SEM and HRTEM, respectively. Under visible light (λ > 400 nm), (BiO)2CO3/BiOX displayed much higher photocatalytic activity than pure (BiO)2CO3 an...
