The black ball- like BiOCI microspheres and black flower-like BiOCI microspheres were obtained using different surfactant. The color of the BiOCI microspheres turned from black to white when being annealed at 400 ℃ in air for 3 h and could be recovered to black by exposure to ultraviolet light for a few hours. The photocatalytic activity of both the black and the white BiOCI microspheres was characterized by the photo-degradation of methyl orange dye under visible light irradiation. The black ball-like nanostructure BiOCI displayed the best photocatalytic activity, compared with the white BiOCI and the black flower-like BiOCI. It can degrade the methyl orange dye to 20% within 70 min under visible light irradiation. The high activity of the BiOCI ball-like sphere may own to its special morphology, strong absorption in visible light range and the existence of oxygen vacancies.展开更多
