BiOI nanobelts were synthesised by a one‐pot solvothermal process in the presence of [Bmim]I. As‐synthesised BiOI nanobelts showed higher photocatalytic activity in the aqueous RhB photodegradation system than BiOI nanosheets under visible‐light irradiation. It could be widely used for the environmental purification of organic pollutants in an aqueous solution.
