Facile and Rapid Oxidation Fabrication of BiOCl Hierarchical Nanostructures with Enhanced Photocatalytic Properties

Coming up flowers: Three-dimensional (3D) flower-like BiOCl hierarchical nanostructures (HNs) were fabricated by a facile and rapid in situ oxidation reaction between metallic Bi nanospheres and FeCl3 at room temperature (see scheme). These structures exhibit excellent photocatalytic activity for rhodamine B degradation and photoelectric conversion properties.
