Abstract

As per the global environmental pollution crisis, the explorations of optimized nanostructured photocatalytic materials have received considerable attention. Among them, Aurivillius-related oxide family bismuth subcarbonate (BiO)₂CO₃ photocatalysts, composed of self-possessed [Bi₂O₂]²⁺ layers interposed by CO₃²⁻ clusters owing to a Sillen-Aurivillius layered structure, leading to exhibit superior photoactivity. The present review endeavors to summarize a comprehensive study on the development and fabrication techniques of (BiO)₂CO₃, which define the relationship between morphologies and photocatalytic activities. Besides, specific enhancement approaches for improving photocatalytic activity (BiO)₂CO₃, such as heterojunction formation, cocatalyst, doping, are presented. Furthermore, photocatalytic improvement characteristics and photocatalytic mechanisms of (BiO)₂CO₃ based semiconductor heterojunction-based photocatalyst are successfully explained. Finally, the review ended with conclusions, challenges, and guidelines for future work for (BiO)₂CO₃ based heterojunction semiconductor photocatalysts toward various potential environmental remediation in the coming years.
