Abstract
MOF-derived photocatalytic materials have potential in degrading ciprofloxacin (CIP) in water and HCHO gas pollutants. Novel derivatization means and defect regulation are effective techniques for improving the performance of MOF-derived photocatalysis. Vacancy-rich Bi4O5Br2 (MBO-x) were derived in one step from Bi-MOF (CAU-17) by a modified double-solvent method. MBO-50 produced more oxygen vacancies due to the combined effect of the CAU-17 precursor and double solvents. The photocatalytic performance of MBO was evaluated by degrading CIP and HCHO. Thanks to the favorable morphology and vacancy structure, MBO-50 demonstrated the best photocatalytic efficiency, with 97.0% removal of CIP (20 mg L-1) and 90.1% removal of HCHO (6.5 ppm) at 60 min of light irradiation. The EIS Nyquist measurement, transient photocurrent response, photoluminescence spectra, and the calculation of energy band information indicated that the vacancy sites can effectively capture photoexcited electrons during the charge transfer process, thus limiting the recombination of electrons and holes, improving the energy band structure, and making it easier to produce superoxide anion radical (·O2-) and to degrade CIP and HCHO. The improvement of photocatalytic performance of MBO-50 in HCHO degradation due to the bromine vacancy generation and filling mechanism was discussed in detail. This work provides a promising new idea for the modulation of MOF-derived photocatalytic materials.

Abstract
Recently, bismuth (Bi)-based photocatalysts have been a well-deserved hotspot in the field of photocatalysis owning to their photoelectrochemical properties driven by the distortion of the Bi 6 s orbital, while their narrow band gap and poor quantum efficiency still restrict their application. With the development of ultrasonic technology, it is expected to become a broom to clear the application obstacles of Bi-based photocatalysts. The special forces and environmental conditions brought by ultrasonic irradiation play beneficial roles in the preparation, modification and performance releasement of Bi-based photocatalysts. In this review, the role and influencing factors of ultrasound in the preparation and modification of Bi-based photocatalysts were introduced. Crucially, the mechanism of the improving the performance for various types of Bi-based photocatalysts by ultrasound in the whole process of photocatalysis was deeply analyzed. Then, the application of ultrasonic synergistic Bi-based photocatalysts in contaminants treatment and energy conversion was briefly introduced. Finally, based on an unambiguous understanding of ultrasonic technology in assisting Bi-based photocatalysts, the future directions and possibilities for ultrasonic synergistic Bi-based photocatalysts are explored.

Abstract
Bismuth oxybromide (BiOBr) is a promising photocatalytic semiconductor material due to its unique hierarchical structure and band structure. However, its photocatalytic applications are restricted due to its narrow visible-light absorption range and poor photooxidation capability. In this study, BiOBr1-xIx-y with rich surface Br vacancies (BrVs-rich BiOBr1-xIx-y) was created via a facile indirect substitution strategy. Benefiting from the broadened visible-light response range and reduced recombination rate of photogenerated carriers, BiOBr1-xIx-y shows excellent visible-light photodegradation ability for high-concentration refractory contaminants, such as phenol, tetracycline, bisphenol A, rhodamine B, methyl orange, and even real wastewater. At the same time, the Br vacancies can regulate the band structure of BiOBr1-xIx-y and serve as trap states to promote charge separation, thus facilitating surface photoredox reactions. An in-depth investigation of the Br vacancy effect and photodegradation mechanism was conducted. This novel study revealed the significance of Br vacancies in enhancing the photocatalytic performance of BiOBr under visible light, providing a promising strategy for improving the utilization efficiency of sunlight in wastewater treatment.

Abstract
The development of photocatalytic reduction of CO2 is hindered by slow surface reaction kinetics due to the high activation barrier of CO2 and the lack of activation centers in the photocatalyst. To overcome these limitations, this study focuses on enhancing the photocatalytic performance through incorporating Cu atoms into BiOCl. By introducing a minute amount of Cu (0.18 wt%) into BiOCl nanosheets, significant improvements were achieved, with a CO yield of 38.3 µmol g-1 from CO2 reduction, surpassing that of pristine BiOCl by 50%. To explore the surface dynamics of CO2 adsorption, activation and reactions, in situ DRIFTS was employed. Theoretical calculations were further performed to elucidate the role of Cu in the photocatalytic process. The results demonstrate that the incorporation of Cu into BiOCl induces surface charge redistribution, which facilitates efficient trapping of photogenerated electrons and accelerates the separation of photogenerated charge carriers. Furthermore, Cu modification on BiOCl effectively lowers the activation energy barrier by stabilizing the COOH* intermediate, thereby turning the rate-limiting step from COOH* formation to CO* desorption and boosting the CO2 reduction process. This work unveils the atomic-level role of modified Cu in enhancing the CO2 reduction reaction and presents a novel concept for achieving highly efficient photocatalysts.

Abstract
Semitransparent and homogeneous bismuth oxychloride (BiOCl) thin films with (001) preferred orientation were synthesized on polycrystalline Sn:In2O3-glass substrates by mist chemical vapor deposition. The films showed photocathodic activity even under near-ultraviolet light within the band gap due to the in-gap states induced by oxygen vacancies. Higher synthesis temperatures resulted in a significant increase of photocurrent density under ultraviolet light. While the longer lifetime of photocarriers led to an increase of internal quantum efficiency, the larger band-edge absorption significantly contributed to the higher external quantum efficiency.

Abstract
BiOX (X = Cl, Br, I) families are a kind of new type of photocatalysts, which have attracted the attention of more and more researchers. The suitable band gaps and their convenient tunability via the change of X elements enable BiOX to adapt to many photocatalytic reactions. In addition, because of their characteristics of the unique layered structure and indirect bandgap semiconductor, BiOX exhibits excellent separation efficiency of photogenerated electrons and holes. Therefore, BiOX could usually demonstrate fine activity in many photocatalytic reactions. In this review, we will present the various applications and modification strategies of BiOX in photocatalytic reactions. Finally, based on a good understanding of the above issues, we will propose the future directions and feasibilities of the reasonable design of modification strategies of BiOX to obtain better photocatalytic activity toward various photocatalytic applications.

Abstract
Construction of heterojunction at the atomic scale to ensure efficient charge separation for improvement of photocatalytic water splitting is challenging. Herein, a facile hydrothermal method has been applied for the in situ fabrication of TiO2 /SrTiO3 heterojunction, using the monolayer Ti3 C2 MXene as the template and reactant. It is found that the sample with the hydrothermal reaction time of 60 min exhibits the highest H2 evolution rate with the sacrificial reagent, due to the efficient charge separation of TiO2 /SrTiO3 heterojunction as Ti3 C2 derivative. In addition, the sample shows the best overall water splitting performance at a hydrothermal reaction time of 120 min, where TiO2 is nearly converted to SrTiO3 , due to the fast kinetic process and low structural defects of SrTiO3 . This work not only provides a simple strategy for the fabrication of heterojunction photocatalysts but also demonstrates the difference in optimization of half-reaction and overall water splitting reaction.

Abstract
Black phosphorus (BP) has received increasing interest as a promising photocatalyst for water splitting. Nevertheless, exploring the underlying hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) mechanism and improving the water oxidizing ability remains an urgent task. Here, using first-principles calculations, we uncover the role of point defects in improving the HER activity of BP photocatalysts. We demonstrate that the defective phosphorene can be effectively activated by the photoinduced electrons under solar light, exhibiting high HER catalytic activity in a broad pH range (0-10). Besides, we propose that the direct Z-scheme in the defective BP/SnSe2 heterobilayer is quite feasible for photocatalytic overall water splitting. This mechanism could be further verified based on the excited state dynamics method. The role of point defects in the photocatalytic mechanism provides useful insights for the development of BP photocatalysts.

Abstract
Oxygen vacancy manipulation and hierarchical morphology construction in oxygen-containing semiconductors have been demonstrated to be effective strategies for developing high efficiency photocatalysts. In most studies of bismuth-based photocatalysts, hierarchical morphology and crystal defects are achieved separately, so the catalysts are not able to benefit from both features. Herein, using boiling ethylene glycol as the treatment solution, we developed an etching-recrystallization method for the fabrication of 3D hierarchical defective BiOCl at ambient pressure. The target hierarchical 3D-BiOCl is composed of self-assembled BiOCl nanosheets, which exhibit a hexagonal prism-like morphology on a micron scale, while simultaneously containing numerous oxygen vacancies within the crystal structure. Consequently, the target catalyst was endowed with a higher specific surface area, greater light harvesting capability, as well as more efficient separation and transfer of photo-excited charges than pristine BiOCl. As a result, 3D-BiOCl presented an impressive photocatalytic activity for the degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride in both visible light and natural white light emitting diode (LED) irradiation. Moreover, an extraordinary recycling property was demonstrated for the target photocatalyst thanks to its hierarchical structure. This study outlines a simple and energy-efficient approach for producing high-performance hierarchically defective BiOCl, which may also open up new possibilities for the morphological and crystal structural defect regulation of other Bi-based photocatalysts.

Abstract
The fast development of the world civilization is continuously based on huge energy consumption. The extra-consumption of fossil fuel (petroleum, coal, and gas) in past decades has caused several political and environmental crises. Accordingly, the world, and especially the scientific community, should discover alternative energy sources to safe-guard our future from severe climate changes. Hydrogen is the ideal energy carrier, where nanomaterials, like layered double hydroxides (LDHs), play a great role in hydrogen production from clean/renewable sources. Here, we review the applications of LDHs in petroleum for the first time, as well as the recent breakthrough in the synthesis of 1D-LDHs and their applications in water splitting to H2. By 1D-LDHs, it is possible to overcome the drawbacks of commercial TiO2, such as its wide bandgap energy (3.2 eV) and working only in the UV-region. Now, we can use TiO2-modified structures for infrared (IR)-induced water splitting to hydrogen. Extending the performance of TiO2 into the IR-region, which includes 53% of sunlight by 1D-LDHs, guarantees high hydrogen evolution rates during the day and night and in cloudy conditions. This is a breakthrough for global hydrogen production and environmental remediation.

Abstract
The combination of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation and photocatalysis has proven to be effective for organic contaminants treatment. However, the construction of an efficient catalytic material is an important challenge. Herein, novel Bi2WO6/BiOCl heterojunction nanocomposites were successfully designed and fabricated using a facile and effective strategy for bisphenol A (BPA) photodegradation with PMS activation. The well-designed heterojunction with improvement of the contact area and interface microstructure was obtained through in situ growth of the Bi2WO6 on the surface of BiOCl. The Bi2WO6/BiOCl nanocomposites exhibit excellent catalytic performance in PMS activation for BPA degradation under visible light irradiation. A possible photocatalytic reaction mechanism was systematically revealed. The excellent catalytic performance is mainly attributed to the strong interaction between Bi2WO6 and BiOCl, resulting in an enhanced photoabsorption and a more efficient interfacial charge separation and transfer. This paper provides a novel strategy to design efficient catalytic materials for organic contaminants remediation with PMS activation.

Abstract
Oxygen vacancies are usually thought to be beneficial for photogenerated charge separation. In this work, the oxygen vacancies in ov-Bi2 O3 (Bi2 O3 with oxygen vacancy) were found to be able to produce 1 O2 in the dark owing to chemical adsorption. The oxygen vacancies were further found to be responsible for ov-Bi2 O3 exhibiting higher 1 O2 generation under light irradiation with 1 O2 as the only reactive oxygen species (ROS) than Bi2 O3 with 1 O2 , H2 O2 , and others as the ROS. The photocatalytic activity was investigated for the selective photo-oxidation of phenyl methyl sulfide to phenyl methyl sulfoxide and phenyl alcohol to benzaldehyde. In either case, ov-Bi2 O3 displayed better performance than Bi2 O3 , suggesting the significant role of oxygen vacancies in modulating the photocatalytic oxidation properties. This work provides an alternative approach to obtain singlet oxygen, which may guide further design of photocatalysts with high efficiency and selectivity towards photocatalytic organic synthesis.

Abstract
Piezoelectric materials can evoke electrochemical reactions by transferring charge carriers to reactants upon receiving mechanical stimuli. We report a newly discovered function of piezoelectric bismuth oxychloride (BiOCl) nanosheets for dissociating Alzheimer's β-amyloid (Aβ) aggregates through ultrasound-induced redox reactions. The accumulation of Aβ aggregates (e.g., Aβ fibrils, plaques) in the central nervous system is a major pathological hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Thus, clearing Aβ aggregates is considered a key for treating AD, but the dissociation of Aβ aggregates is challenging due to their extremely robust structure consisting of β-sheets. BiOCl nanosheets are a biocompatible piezoelectric material with piezocatalytic activity in response to ultrasound. Our analyses using multiple spectroscopic and microscopic tools have revealed that BiOCl nanosheets effectively disassemble Aβ fibrils under ultrasound stimulation. Sono-activated BiOCl nanosheets produce piezo-induced oxidative stress, which effectively destabilizes the β-sheets in Aβ fibrils. In vitro evolution has also shown that sono-activated BiOCl nanosheets can effectively alleviate the neuro-toxicity of Aβ fibrils. Furthermore, ex vivo evolution demonstrated that amount of Aβ plaques in AD mouse's brain slices was drastically reduced by treatment with sono-activated BiOCl nanosheets.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) is an emerging technology as a noninvasive therapeutic modality for inducing photonic cancer hyperthermia. However, current photothermal conversion agents suffer from low therapeutic efficiency and single functionality. Engineering crystal defects on the surface or substrate of semiconductors can substantially enhance their optical absorption capability as well as improve their photothermal effects in theranostic nanomedicines. In this study, a specific defect engineering strategy was developed to endow two-dimensional (2D) BiOCl nanosheets with intriguing photothermal conversion performance by creating oxygen vacancies on the surface (O-BiOCl). Importantly, the photothermal performance and photoacoustic imaging capability of the 2D O-BiOCl nanosheets could be precisely controlled by modulating the amounts of oxygen vacancies. The strong Bi-based X-ray attenuation coefficient endowed these nanosheets with the contrast-enhanced computed tomography imaging capability. The high near-infrared-triggered photonic hyperthermia for tumor ablation was systematically demonstrated both in vitro at the cellular level and in vivo for tumor breast cancer mice xenograft models. Based on the demonstrated high biocompatibility of these 2D O-BiOCl nanosheets, this work not only formulates an intriguing 2D photothermal nanoagent for tumor ablation, but also provides an efficient strategy to control the photothermal performance of nanoagents by defect engineering.

Abstract
Bismuth oxychloride ultrathin nanoplates (BiOCl-UTNs) are highly active, but their preparation are limited to closed-vessel hydrothermal and solvothermal techniques at high temperatures (110-180 °C). Here we report a straightforward poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS)-mediated route for the large-scale synthesis of BiOCl-UTNs at room-temperature. In an open vessel, 6.15 g of BiOCl-UTNs with 3-5 nm thickness, and planar dimensions of 30-50 nm were produced. The strong electrostatic interaction between PSS and [Bi2 O2 ]2+ layers inhibited the growth rate of BiOCl nanoplates along <001> direction, and Na+ ions governed the electrolyte sedimentation to produce BiOCl-UTNs. The resulting BiOCl-UTNs exhibited high photocatalytic activity for the degradation of antibiotics and organic dyes because of their large specific surface area, increased light absorption ability, and fast separation and transfer efficiency of the photoexcited charge carriers.

Abstract
Solar water splitting to produce hydrogen is a promising solution for global energy issues. One of the main bottlenecks in this technology is the spontaneous fast backward reaction (2H2 + O2 → H2O, Δ G < 0), limiting the solar energy conversion efficiency. How to suppress backward reaction is vitally important but rarely reported. Here we found that single-electron-trapped oxygen vacancy (Vo·) can suppress spontaneous backward reaction in pure water splitting. Taking WO3·0.33H2O catalyst as an example, ultrathin WO3·0.33H2O {100} facets with large amount of surface Vo· realized a continuous H2 evolution from pure water splitting with a productivity of 9.9 μmol/g·h without the assistance of any sacrifice agent and noble metal cocatalyst. Quantum chemical calculations revealed that the backward-reaction suppression ability of Vo· is attributed to the high concentration of localized electrons around Vo·, stimulating unidirectional simultaneous water dissociation into H and OH under light irradiation.

Abstract
Photocatalytic water splitting is promising for hydrogen energy production using solar energy and developing highly efficient photocatalysts is challenging. Defect engineering is proved to be a very useful strategy to promote the photocatalytic performance of metal-based photocatalysts, however, the vital role of defects is still ambiguous. This work comprehensively reviews point defective metal-based photocatalysts for water splitting, focusing on understanding the defects' disorder effect on optical adsorption, charge separation and migration, and surface reaction. The controllable synthesis and tuning strategies of defective structure to improve the photocatalytic performance are summarized, then the characterization techniques and density functional theory calculations are discussed to unveil the defect structure, and analyze the defects induced electronic structure change of catalysts and its ultimate effect on the photocatalytic activity at the molecular level. Finally, the challenge in developing more efficient defective metal-based photocatalysts is outlined. This work may help further the understanding of the fundamental role of defect structure in the photocatalytic reaction process and guide the rational design and fabrication of highly efficient and low-cost photocatalysts.

NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2018; 8:E697. [PMID: 30200648 PMCID: PMC6164470 DOI: 10.3390/nano8090697] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2018] [Revised: 09/02/2018] [Accepted: 09/04/2018] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Dy-doped BiOCl powder photocatalyst was synthesized A one⁻step coprecipitation method. The incorporation of Dy3+ replaced partial Bi3+ in BiOCl crystal lattice system. For Rhodamine B (RhB) under visible light irradiation, 2% Dy doped BiOCl possessed highly efficient photocatalytic activity and photodegradation efficiency. The photodegradation ratio of RhB could reach 97.3% after only 30 min of photocatalytic reaction; this was more than relative investigations have reported in the last two years. The main reason was that the 4f electron shell of Dy in the BiOCl crystal lattice system can generate a special electronic shell structure that facilitated the transfer of electron from valance band to conduction band and separation of the photoinduced charge carrier. Apart from material preparation, this research is expected to provide important references for RhB photodegradation in practical applications.

Abstract
Energy and environmental issues are the major concerns in our contemporary "risk society". As a green technique, photocatalysis has been identified as a promising solution for above-mentioned problems. In recent decade, BiOX (X = Cl, Br, I) photocatalytic nanomaterials have sparked numerous interest as economical and efficient photocatalysts for energy conversion and environmental management. The distinctive physicochemical properties of BiOX nanomaterials, especially their energy band structures and levels as well as relaxed layered nanostructures, should be responsible for the visible-light-driven photocatalytic performance improvement, which could be utilized in dealing with the global energy and environmental challenges. In this review, recent advances for the enhancement of BiOX photocatalytic activity are detailedly summarized. Furthermore, the applications of BiOX photocatalysts in water splitting and refractory organic pollutants removal are highlighted to offer guidelines for better development in photocatalysis. Particularly, no relative reports in previous studies were documented in CO2 reduction as well as heavy metals and air pollutants removal, thus this review presented as a considerable research value. Challenges in the construction of high-performance BiOX-based photocatalytic systems are also discussed. With the exponential growth of studies on BiOX photocatalytic nanomaterials, this review provides unique and comprehensive perspectives to design BiOX-based photocatalytic systems with superior visible light photocatalytic activity. The knowledge of both the merits and demerits of BiOX photocatalysts are updated and provided as a reference.

Abstract
Oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) for generating H2 O2 through green pathways have gained much attention in recent years. Herein, we introduce a piezo-catalytic approach to obtain H2 O2 over bismuth oxychloride (BiOCl) through an ORR pathway. The piezoelectric response of BiOCl was directly characterized by piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM). The BiOCl exhibits efficient catalytic performance for generating H2 O2 (28 μmol h-1 ) only from O2 and H2 O, which is above the average level of H2 O2 produced by solar-to-chemical processes. A piezo-catalytic mechanism was proposed: with ultrasonic waves, an alternating electric field will be generated over BiOCl, which can drive charge carriers (electrons) to interact with O2 and H2 O, then to form H2 O2 .

Abstract
A central issue in understanding photo-redox catalysis is the facet-dependent charge movement behaviors that include bulk charge separation, surface charge transfer and interfacial charge migration. To get in-depth insight into these complicated processes steered by different exposing facets, herein BiOCl with exposed (001) and (010) facets engaged as the model are investigated. The BiOCl-(010) and BiOCl-(001) single-crystalline sheets are separately synthesized via hydrothermal and hydrolysis routes. In contrast to BiOCl-(010), BiOCl-(001) demonstrates highly promoted photo-redox performance for H2 generation and degradation of pollutants. The facet-dependent charge movement behaviors were surveyed by surface photovoltage spectroscopy (SPV), transient photocurrent, linear sweep voltammetry, continuous wavelength photocurrent, and electrochemical impedance spectrum (EIS). All the photoelectrochemical and photoelectric measurement results reflect that BiOCl-(001) exhibits superior charge separation and migration efficiencies in the whole charge movement process than the BiOCl-(010). Besides, a higher charge carrier density (3.1-fold enhancement) was also observed for BiOCl-(001) compared to BiOCl-(010). Our current work is expected to further our understanding on facet-dependent charge movement behaviors and offer new insight into design of high-performance photocatalytic/photoelectrochemical materials.

Abstract
In recent years, bismuth-based nanomaterials have drawn considerable interest as potential candidates for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting owing to their narrow band gaps, nontoxicity, and low costs. The unique electronic structure of bismuth-based materials with a well-dispersed valence band comprising Bi 6s and O 2p orbitals offers a suitable band gap to harvest visible light. This Review presents significant advancements in exploiting bismuth-based nanomaterials for solar water splitting. An overview of the different strategies employed and the new ideas adopted to improve the PEC performance of bismuth-based nanomaterials are discussed. Morphology control, the construction of heterojunctions, doping, and co-catalyst loading are several approaches that are implemented to improve the efficiency of solar water splitting. Key issues are identified and guidelines are suggested to rationalize the design of efficient bismuth-based materials for sunlight-driven water splitting.

Abstract
Hydrogen and ammonia are the chemical molecules that are vital to Earth's energy, environmental, and biological processes. Hydrogen with renewable, carbon-free, and high combustion-enthalpy hallmarks lays the foundation of next-generation energy source, while ammonia furnishes the building blocks of fertilizers and proteins to sustain the lives of plants and organisms. Such merits fascinate worldwide scientists in developing viable strategies to produce hydrogen and ammonia. Currently, at the forefronts of hydrogen and ammonia syntheses are solar water splitting and nitrogen fixation, because they go beyond the high temperature and pressure requirements of methane stream reforming and Haber-Bosch reaction, respectively, as the commercialized hydrogen and ammonia production routes, and inherit the natural photosynthesis virtues that are green and sustainable and operate at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. The key to propelling such photochemical reactions lies in searching photocatalysts that enable water splitting into hydrogen and nitrogen fixation to make ammonia efficiently. Although the past 40 years have witnessed significant breakthroughs using the most widely studied TiO2, SrTiO3, (Ga1-xZnx)(N1-xOx), CdS, and g-C3N4 for solar chemical synthesis, two crucial yet still unsolved issues challenge their further progress toward robust solar water splitting and nitrogen fixation, including the inefficient steering of electron transportation from the bulk to the surface and the difficulty of activating the N≡N triple bond of N2. This Account details our endeavors that leverage layered bismuth oxyhalides as photocatalysts for efficient solar water splitting and nitrogen fixation, with a focus on addressing the above two problems. We first demonstrate that the layered structures of bismuth oxyhalides can stimulate an internal electric field (IEF) that is capable of efficiently separating electrons and holes after their formation and of precisely channeling their migration from the bulk to the surface along the different directions, thus enabling more electrons to reach the surface for water splitting and nitrogen fixation. Simultaneously, their oxygen termination feature and the strain differences between interlayers and intralayers render the easy generation of surface oxygen vacancies (OVs) that afford Lewis-base and unsaturated-unsaturated sites for nitrogen activation. With these rationales as the guideline, we can obtain striking visible-light hydrogen- and ammonia-evolving rates without using any noble-metal cocatalysts. Then we show how to utilize IEF and OV based strategies to improve the solar water splitting and nitrogen fixation performances of bismuth oxyhalide photocatalysts. Finally, we highlight the challenges remaining in using bismuth oxyhalides for solar hydrogen and ammonia syntheses, and the prospect of further development of this research field. We believe that our mechanistic insights could serve as a blueprint for the design of more efficient solar water splitting and nitrogen fixation systems, and layered bismuth oxyhalides might open up new photocatalyst paradigm for such two solar chemical syntheses.
