This work aims to evaluate the behavior of the FTO/m-BiVO4 photoanode in different electrolytes, pH, anions and cations, in order to investigate the influence of these parameters on their photoelectrochemical activity. The m-BiVO4semiconductor was developed by combustion synthesis in solution (SCS) and deposited by dip-coating technique on fluorinated doped tin oxide (FTO) coated glass substrate. The evaluation of the photosensitive behavior of the film was made by linear voltammetry and chronoamperometry in the presence of pulsed visible light. After photoelectrochemical parameters optimization, the study of photoelectrocatalysis in glucose degradation was performed. Thus, it was possible to evaluate the efficiency of the film in the photoelectrocatalytic processes, presenting itself as a potential material for such applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
