Article Abstract
In this study, a one-step solvothermal method was used to fabricate Fe doped BiOCl microflowers with abundant oxygen vacancies (OVs) in the presence of glacial acetic acid. Various analytical techniques were employed to characterize the structural, morphological, and optical properties of the prepared samples. The presence of OVs was confirmed by low temperature electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis. The photocatalytic results show that Fe doped BiOCl photocatalysts have higher activity than the bare BiOCl, and 10% Fe/BiOCl exhibits the highest photocatalytic performance, the photocatalytic efficiency of this sample is 2.3 and 1.1 times higher than that of the blank BiOCl toward photocatalytic degradation of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and rhodamine B (RhB), respectively. Furthermore, Fe doped BiOCl demonstrates excellent reusability. Based on the experimental observations, an enhancement mechanism for the photocatalytic activity of Fe doped BiOCl was reasonably elucidated.

Interfacial charge transfer leads to the formation of an electric dipole at the interface of a van der Waals (vdW) heterostructure. The switching of dipole polarity using an electric field provides an effective method for modulating the electronic properties of vdW systems. However, the experimental observation of switched vdW dipoles is challenging, as it is concealed by the electrostatic gating effect.

This study investigates the synergistic photocatalytic activity of mixed bismuth oxyhalides (BiOI and BiOCl) and the critical role of iron doping in enhancing the Cr(VI) reduction. By employing FeCl as both a chloride source and iron dopant precursor, we achieved in situ Fe incorporation into bismuth oxyhalides (BiOX; X = Cl/I) during a one-pot coprecipitation synthesis at room temperature. The resulting iron-doped BiOX formed flower-like particles integrated with NH-UiO-66, a zirconium-based metal-organic framework (MOF), creating a Z-scheme heterojunction composite.

Bismuth oxychloride (BiOCl, BOC) emerges as a prospective candidate for environmental remediation due to its distinctive layer structure. However, its photocatalytic degradation activity is hindered by insufficient visible light responsiveness ability and the immanent recombination of photogenerated charges. Herein, carbon-doped BOC nanosheets (C-BOC NS) were prepared through solvothermal treatment utilizing oleylamine and oleic acid in dual roles, which serve as structure-directing agents to inhibit layer stacking for constructing nanosheet architecture while also being carbon sources for lattice doping.

Fe-doped BiOCl (Fe-BiOCl) hierarchical microspheres were successfully prepared by using a simple one-step solvothermal approach. The Fe-BiOCl hierarchical microspheres were analyzed by XRD, IR, SEM, XPS, TEM, etc. The analyses confirmed that impurity levels were successfully introduced into the band gap of BiOCl through Fe doping, leading to a decrease in the band gap and an expansion of the light absorption range to the visible region.

This study aimed to enhance the adsorption efficiency of spinel CoO against methylene blue dye removal, a significant environmental treatment. Hence, metal elements (X = Zn, Mg, and Bi) doped (CoNi X )O nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized by the co-precipitation method, with a crystallite size range between 17 and 23 nm. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis with the Rietveld refinement confirmed the spinel single-phase for Zn and Mg-doped (CoNi)O NPs without any secondary phases.
