Defective BiOBr nanosheets with ultrathin thickness and surface-confined pits have been synthesized through a dual control of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP). The photocatalytic activity of the obtained defective BiOBr nanosheets was evaluated for the removal of...
