Ever since the breakthrough discovery of graphene, there has been a surge of interest in two-dimensional (2D) materials . These materials have the unique ability to retain the essential characteristics of their larger counterparts while also exhibiting novel properties due to the remarkable surface-tovolume ratio and quantum confinement effect experienced by charge carriers in the twodimensional domain . Layered compounds containing bismuth (Bi), such as the high mobility semiconductor Bi2O2Se , photocatalyst BiOCl , and superconductor Bi2Sr2CaCu2Ox (Bi2212) , have garnered significant interest for their intriguing fundamental properties and potential applications. Bismuth, being a heavy p-block metal, has had a major impact on the electronic properties of materials that contain it . This is because the widely spread ns and np (n = 5, 6) valence orbitals of Bi are crucial in forming the conduction band minimum (CBM) near the Fermi surface. BiOCl is a highly promising candidate among various bismuth-based materials due to its intriguing properties, including thermoelectricity , photoelectricity , ferroelectricity , and photocatalysis . The BiOCl exhibits a layered structure and possesses distinctive anisotropic, electrical, mechanical, and optical properties . It has been possible to synthesize BiOCl in a variety of morphologies, such as flower-like {110} , nanorods {101} , nanosheets {001} , and others. The composition of BiOCl consists of layers of [Bi2O2] 2+ between plates of [Cl2] 2-.
