Abstract

We demonstrate the fabrication of BiOCl/Bi₂S₃ which is well defined at a large scale. The BiOCl/Bi₂S₃ hetero-structures exhibit an enhanced photo-catalytic degradation of methyl orange (MO) compared to BiOCl and Bi₂S₃, attributed to the interface between Bi₂S₃ and BiOCl, which effectively separate the photo-induced electron-hole pairs and suppress their recombination.
