Semiconductor photocatalysts have received a lot of attention because of their wide range of applications in solving energy and environmental problems. In this work, the electronic structure and optical properties of two‐dimensional (2D) heterostructures of bismuth oxyhalides (BiOX, X = Cl, Br, I) and transition‐metal oxides (YO3, Y = Mo, W) are studied by density functional theory. The results reveal that the 2D BiOX–YO3 heterostructures are semiconductors with band gaps of 0–1.41 eV. Electronic structure analyses indicate that the va...
