CeVO4 hierarchical hollow microspheres assembled from nanoscaled building units (nanoparticles, nanocubes and nanoflakes) were synthesized by a one-step hydrothermal approach using l-Asp as the morphology-directing agent.
BiOCl/(BiO)2CO3 composites with reactive exposed {001} facets have been synthesized by a one-step in situ solvothermal method. The synergistic effect of type-II band alignment and exposed high-energy facets enhances photocatalytic activity.
Bi/BiOBrxI1−x heterojunction of hierarchical microspheres formed in situ with efficient visible-light photocatalytic activity were synthesized by a facile one-step solvothermal method.
