Abstract
Photocatalytic Water Splitting In article number 2200365, Dandan Cui, Weichang Hao, Yi Du, and co-workers described the intercalation of NbO6 octahedral into BiOBr-layered materials by a melting method to make Bi4NbO8Br nanosheets. Through theory and experiments, it is proven that the polarization can facilitate the separation and migration efficiency of photogenerated carriers and ultimately improve the photocatalytic activity of Bi4NbO8Br to decompose water.
