Bismuth oxychloride (BiOCl) square microplates were prepared via a facile hydrothermal method. The X-ray diffraction patterns of the samples reveal a tetragonal BiOCl phase, and the scanning electron microscopy images show plate-like structures with large lateral size of 3~6 μm and thickness in the range of 100~300 nm. The effects of surfactant, reaction temperature and duration on the morphology of BiOCl powders are systematically investigated. The polar behavior of a BiOCl single-crystalline microplate is examined by using piezoresponse force microscopy evidenced over 80 pm displacement under 40 V bias voltage. In addition, the photoelectric performance of the BiOCl microplates is evaluated by using electrochemical workstation with three-electrode system, and large photocurrent densities (over 0.5 μA/cm²) and fast photoresponse (0.7~1.1 s) are detected by applying both 365 nm monochromatic light and sunlight illumination. The surface potential changes of BiOCl microplate under different light condition, characterized by in-situ Kelvin probe force microscopy, further verify the separation ability of the photo-induced charge carriers. These findings would be beneficial for further design photocatalytic and piezocatalytic materials.
