Abstract :
BiOI nanobelts were synthesised by a one-pot solvothermal process in the presence of [Bmim]I. As-synthesised BiOI nanobelts showed higher photocatalytic activity in the aqueous RhB photodegradation system than BiOI nanosheets under visible-light irradiation. It could be widely used for the environmental purification of organic pollutants in an aqueous solution.
