Hierarchical growth of BiOCl on SrO‐Bi₂O₃‐B₂O₃ glass‐ceramics for self‐cleaning applications

We have grown hierarchical structure of bismuth oxycloride (BiOCl) on SrO‐Bi 2 O 3 ‐B 2 O 3 (SBBO) transparent glass‐ceramic. SBBO glass‐ceramics were fabricated via conventional melt‐quenching technique while BiOCl was grown by etching the glass via HCl. Enhanced visible light driven photocatalytic activity and increasing hydrophobic feature were observed on BiOCl grown SBBO than as‐quenched SBBO glass‐ceramics. Contact angle analysis showed...
