  • Abstract
    Flower-like BiOCl networks composed of intercrossed nanosheets have been synthesised by a simple thermal oxidation method. The nanosheets are highly crystallised and exhibit large percentage of exposed (001) facet. The as-prepared BiOCl networks show much higher activity than that of P25 TiO2 and electrospun BiOCl nanofibres, which is evaluated by degradation of rhodamine B (RB) dye under ultraviolet light irradiation.
