Controlling interfacial contact and exposed facets for enhancing photocatalysis via 2D-2D heterostructures

Herein, we report a facile strategy for the creation of 2D layered heterostructures with intimate interfacial contact and exposed reactive facets. The 2D layered heterostructures with intimate contact by sharing the interfacial oxygen atoms and exposed reactive facets endowed the as-prepared BiOIO3/BiOI nanostructures with highly enhanced visible photocatalytic performance for NO removal.
