Synthesis and Optimization of Visible Light Active BiVO4 Photocatalysts for the Degradation of RhB

Monoclinic BiVO4 powders were synthesized via a novel route using potassium metavanadate (KVO3) prepared by calcination of K2CO3 and V2O5 as a starting material and followed by hydrothermal treatment and were investigated for the degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) under visible light irradiation. The...
