Fe-doped Bi2O2CO3 nanoplates were developed as visible-light driven photocatalysts with tailorable energy bandgaps. The Fe-doping in Bi2O2CO3 can greatly enhance the photocatalytic degradation of RhB upon visible-light irradiation. [Display omitted] •Fe-doped Bi2O2CO3 nanoplates were prepared using...
