In this work, the photocatalytic activity and sorption capacity of heterogeneous structures AgCl/h-BN obtained by the polyol method were studied in comparison with the initial micron-sized h-BN powder. The chemical and phase composition, as well as the surface microstructure, were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, X-ray phase analysis, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. High photocatalytic activity and sorption ability of heterogeneous structures AgCl/BN in the reaction of the organic dye methylene blue decomposition under ultraviolet irradiation were demonstrated. Keywords: heterogeneous materials, photocatalysis, hexagonal boron nitride, silver chloride.
