Direct hydrolysis preparation for novel bi-based oxysalts photocatalyst Bi6O5(OH)3(NO3)5·3H2O with high photocatalytic activity

Bi-based photocatalyst Bi6O5(OH)3(NO3)5·3H2O was successfully developed. The pH value plays an important role in controlling the crystallization, morphology, and photocatalytic activity.
