The characteristics of BiOCl/Plaster of Paris composites and their photocatalytic performance under visible light illumination for self-cleaning

Composites of Plaster of Paris (POP)-BiOCl (%) are prepared by adding BiOCl of 0%, 1%, 5%, 10% and 20% (by wt.) in the POP matrix. The band gap of the BiOCl powder is calculated about 3.31 eV. Resazurin (Rz) ink is used as an indicator to monitor the photocatalytic activity and self-cleaning propert...
