Designing photocatalysts to remove organic pollutants are of great significance in the environmental field. Herein, BiOCl/C/g-C 3 N 4 photocatalyst was synthesized with biochar, BiOCl, and g-C 3 N 4 . Biochar was first used as an electronic medium to accelerate charge carrier separation. Moreover, t...
