Bismuth oxyhalides (BiOX, X = Cl, Br, and I) have emerged as viable catalysts for photocatalytic reduction of nitrogen into ammonia, due to their unique electronic structures and optical properties. Herein, the recent progress of BiOX-based photocatalysts for nitrogen fixation, with a focus on the reaction mechanism and pathways, materials preparation, and strategies of structural engineering for enhanced performance, is summarized. The article is concluded with a perspective where the promises and challenges of bismuth-based photocatalysts for nitrogen reduction to ammonia are highlighted, along with possible future research directions.}, keywords = {bismuth oxyhalide, doping, Heterostructure, Oxygen vacancy, photocatalytic nitrogen fixation}, doi = {http://doi.org/10.1002/aesr.202000097}, url = {http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/aesr.202000097}, author = {Li, Peishen and Gao, Shuai and Liu, Qiming and Ding, Peiren and Wu, Yunyun and Wang, Changzheng and Yu, Shaobin and Liu, Wen and Qiang Wang and Chen, Shaowei} }
