Heterostructured AgCl/BN nanomaterials with high sorption capacity and photocatalytic activity

In this work, the photocatalytic activity and sorption capacity of heterogeneous structures AgCl/$h$-BN obtained by the polyol method were studied in comparison with the initial micron-sized $h$-BN powder. The chemical and phase composition, as well as the surface microstructure, were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, X-ray phase analysis, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. High photocatalytic activity and sorption ability of heterogeneous structures AgCl/BN in the reaction of the organic dye methylene blue decomposition under ultraviolet irradiation were demonstrated.
