Synergy of sp2-hybridized carbon doping and photogenerated surface oxygen vacancies for the enhanced photocatalytic performance of BiOCl and solvent effects

Here, predominantly sp 2 hybridized carbon-doped BiOCl was constructed. sp 2 carbon doping enhances light utilization, offers new adsorption sites and accelerates hole transport, showing a synergistic effect with photogenerated oxygen defects.
