Innovative ternary composite photocatalyst: BiOCl/Bi12O17Cl2/Bi2O3 for sustainable water remediation

The presence of pollutants in aquatic environments is causing severe health effects on both humans and animals. To address this issue, it has become crucial to develop more efficient and environmentally friendly photocatalysts for the removal of persistent pollutant mixtures from water. In this cont...
