Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The authors examined the photocatalytic activity of BiOCl nanosheets with surface oxygen vacancies, coupled with CaIn2S4. The properties were fully investigated, and the performance of the catalysts is good with an obvious synergy effect. However, some details of the experiments were not mentioned. Therefore, I recommend the publication after the revision based on the following comments.

1, Exchange the order of sections 2 and 3
2, Author did not mention the exact calcination method to make BOC-SOVs, which is utilized to prepare CIS/BOC-SOVs.
3, Only Figure 8 a, b, c shows the calcination method of each sample. Please mention the method for the samples investigated with XRD, XPS, and so on. Besides, please add the data for the samples prepared by the other calcination methods for clarity. The discussions on the properties which differs based on the calcination methods should be added. If it is not essential for the conclusion, please add the data in the Supporting Information.

Reviewer 2 Report

  1. Line 114: "at 529.8, 531.4 and 531.4 eV".
    Last number is probably a typo.
  2. Authors should discuss why activity of BOC-SOV depends on calcination time and temperature nonlinear (Fig.8 a-c).
  3. Page 9: numbers in discussion of the Table 3 do not correspond with the Table. Bandgap of 3.2 eV is calculated for BiOCl, not CaIn2S4.

Reviewer 3 Report

The manuscript entitled ”Assembly of CaIn2S4 on Defect-rich BiOCl for Acceleration of Interfacial Charge Separation and Photocatalytic Phenol Degradation via S-scheme Electron Transfer Mechanism” is presenting a nice piece of work in the field of photocatalysis of phenol. Nevertheless, the following minor changes are needed before this manuscript could be accepted:

-Page 7 line 206: it is mention a comparison with p-methylphenol but in Figure 9 b it is wrote p-nitrophenol. Please check and correct.

-Page 11, line 297. Please list the suppliers at least for the major chemicals used in the synthesis.
