BiOCl_0.5Br_0.5/BiPO₄ double‐layer heterojunction thin film photocatalyst was successfully prepared on Bi plate by one‐pot electrochemical method. The crystal structure, elemental composition and valence, morphology and optical property were characterized. The as‐obtained double‐layer film consisted of BiOCl_0.5Br _0.5 solid solution layer at the bottom and BiPO₄ nanoparticles layer at the top. The interface internal electric field of BiOCl_0.5Br_0.5/BiPO₄ composite film led the photo‐induced electrons and holes to shift in the opposite direction, thus improving the photocatalytic performance of BiOCl_0.5Br_0.5/BiPO₄ composite film. The results displayed that the photodegradation efficiency of phenol reached 99.97% after 120 min under simulated sunlight irradiation, which was nearly 1.69 times and 1.20 times more than that of BiOCl/BiPO₄ and BiOBr/BiPO₄ composite films, respectively. Besides, the hole (h⁺) and hydroxyl radical (·OH) played a crucial role in the photodegradation process of phenol. The improved photocatalytic performance of BiOCl _0.5Br_0.5/BiPO₄ composite film can be ascribed to the broadened absorbance spectra range and efficient separation of photo‐induced charge carriers.
