BiOCl Sub-Microcrystals Induced by Citric Acid and Their High Photocatalytic Activities
Abstract
Bismuth oxychloride (BiOCl) sub-microcrystals with tunable morphologies from nanoflakes to hollow microspheres (HMSs) have been synthesized by hydrolyzing a hierarchical precursor (BiCl 3 ) in a solution of water and ethanol with the addition of poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) and citric acid. The obtained BiOCl possessed sub-microcrystals from single crystals to polycrystals. The formation of the nestlike and hollow structure was found to be induced by citric acid and PVP. The crystal growth and morphology control of BiOCl were explored. Interestingly, citric acid was utilized both as a crystal-growth-inducing agent and a structure-directing agent. The morphology and compositional characteristics of BiOCl were investigated by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Raman, and UV–vis spectra. The photocatalytic activities of BiOCl with different structures have also been investigated by the degradation of Rhodamine-B (RhB) dye under ultraviolet light irradiation. The as-prepared BiOCl exhibited much higher photocatalytic activity than the comzmon one. In particular, the three-dimensional hierarchical structure such as microflowers and HMSs can effectively improve photocatalytic activity. The results show that BiOCl sub-microcrystals have promise as a novel material for photocatalytic applications.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
