Abstract
This chapter focuses on developing stable and highly efficient BiFO3 (BFO) and BiVO4 (BVO) photocatalysts as non-TiO2 visible light photocatalysts capable of overcoming the drawbacks of TiO2 photocatalysts. These photocatalysts are doped with metals (Ba, Cu, Mn) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and then blended together (BVO–BFO) for photocatalytic degradation or heterogeneous photo-Fenton catalytic degradation of a variety of organic compounds in wastewaters. The effects of doping and loading contents of metals, rGO, BVO, and BFO on the phase structures, vibrational modes, particle sizes, magnetization, optical behaviors, and morphologies are analyzed in detail. This chapter also discusses the effects of different parameters, such as initial pH, size, and structure of the photocatalysts, and scavengers, the adsorption isotherms of pollutants in dark and the kinetics of photocatalytic degradation, all which of degrade photocatalytic performance.
