Abstract
Tetragonal Br-doped bismuth oxyiodide (BiOI) as visible-light-driven photocatalysts were synthesized by sonochemical method. The as-synthesized products were characterized by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and an X-ray photoelectron spectrometry (XPS). Among the different studied photocatalysts, 10 wt % Br-doped BiOI showed the highest activity of 98.88% in photodegradation of rhodamine B (RhB) under visible light irradiation within 180 min.
