Multifunctional Bismuth Oxychloride/Mesoporous Silica Composites for Photocatalysis, Antibacterial Test, and Simultaneous Stripping Analysis of Heavy Metals.

ABSTRACT: The increasing complexity of environmental pollution nowadays poses a severe threat to the public health, which attracts considerable attentions in searching for nanomaterials of multiproperty. In this study, mesoporous silica of KIT-6-encapsulated bismuth oxychloride (BiOCl), an intrinsically multifunctional material exhibiting bunched structure in the composites, are facilely prepared under hydrothermal conditions. Subsequently, the produced materials of multifunctionality were applied for photocatalysis, antibacterial test, and simultaneous determination of heavy metals including lead and cadmium. A combination of physiochemical characterizations have revealed that the BiOCl-KIT-6 composites exhibit enlarged yet refined surface morphology contributing to the improved photocatalytic abil
