Abstract

Quasi one-dimensional (1D) BiVO4 microribbons were prepared by sol–gel combined with electrospinning method. The prepared samples were characterized with thermogravimeter, differential scanning calorimeter, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and UV–vis absorbance spectroscopy. The as-prepared products showed a well-defined ribbon structure with 2–3 μm in width, tens of microns in length and about 0.4 μm in thickness, respectively and exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity in the photodegradation of methylene blue under visible light irradiation.
