Van Der Waals gap-rich BiOCl atomic layers realizing efficient, pure-water CO2-to-CO photocatalysis

Efficient CO2 photoreduction in pure water remains challenging. Here, the authors propose to use van der Waals gaps-rich BiOCl atomic layers with low exciton binding energy and abundant surface oxygen vacancies for CO2 to CO conversion.
