Facile microwave-assisted ionic liquid synthesis of sphere-like BiOBr hollow and porous nanostructures with enhanced photocatalytic performance

Hollow and porous BiOBr microcrystals were rapidly synthesized through a microwave-assisted route in the presence of ionic liquid [C16mim]Br and exhibited outstanding photocatalytic activities for the degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) under visible light irradiation.322
