Abstract

This study is focused on formation mechanism and photocatalytic properties of bismuth vanadate. BiVO4 powders were synthesized by a sol-gel method, and its photocatalytic performance was investigated under different Ag+ environments in this paper. The experimental data obtained were tested by X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV/vis scanning spectrophotometer, Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR) etc. The decolorization rate of MO was researched by Ag2O loading and Ag (NO3) used as electron acceptor. The possible photocatalytic mechanism has been discussed by photocatalytic reactions.
