BiOCl with nest morphology was preparation successfully. By the condition that the ratio of BiCl 3 to urea is 1:2 and with a simple solvothermal route. The morphology and composition of BiOCl were studied by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and UV-vis spectrophotometer methods. SEM result indicates that the sample exhibited nest-shaped structures. XRD results showed that the synthesized sample were pbfcl layered structure BiOCl with good crystallinity. UV–vis spectra reveal that the band gap energy of the BiOCl was 3.57 eV.
