Construction of 2D/2D layered g-C₃N₄/Bi₁₂O₁₇Cl₂ hybrid material with matched energy band structure and its improved photocatalytic performance.

ABSTRACT: A series of visible-light-induced 2D/2D layered g-C₃N₄/Bi₁₂O₁₇Cl₂ composite photocatalysts were successfully synthesized by a one step chemical precipitation method with g-C₃N₄, BiCl₃ and NaOH as the precursors at room temperature and characterized through XRD, FTIR, XPS, TEM, BET and UV-vis DRS measurements. The results of XRD, FTIR and XPS indicated that g-C₃N₄ has been introduced in the Bi₁₂O₁₇Cl₂ system. The TEM image demonstrated that there was strong surface-to-surface contact between 2D g-C₃N₄ layers and Bi₁₂O₁₇Cl₂ nanosheets, which contributed to a fast transfer of the interfacial electr
