Semiconductor heterostructures are of great interest in a wide range of applications. In this work, we design and synthesize a novel heteronanostructure with controlled relative composition, i.e., BiVO4/Bi2S3 hollow discoid-like particles with mesoporous shell. The synthesis involves a facile anion...
