Highlights: [•] Synthesis of hierarchical Bi4O5I2 micro/nano structure by a facile solvothermal route. [•] Photocatalyst is Bi4O5I2 nanoflakes. [•] Bi4O5I2 nanoflakes have visible light photocatalytic ability to 4-tert-butylphenol. [•] The photocatalytic mechanism and photogenerated reactive species is investigated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
