Abstract
A new visible-light-driven photocatalysts of Cs2V4O11 nanowires with extremely high length–diameter ratio were synthesized by the conventional hydrothermal reaction. The sample was characterized by XRD measurement and structure refinement, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and UV–vis absorption spectra. Cs2V4O11 nanowire has efficient absorption in the UV–visible light wavelength region with a band gap energy of 2.47eV and an indirect allowed electronic transition. Photocatalytic activities of Cs2V4O11 nanowires by photo-degradation reaction of methylene blue (MB) were investigated under visible-light irradiation in air. Cesium vanadate nanowires show a high photocatalytic activity and could be a potential photocatalyst driven by visible-light.
