A new idea of prepared method for BiVO4 nano‐powders hydrothermal synthesis process was developed to avert the existent shortcomings of hydrothermal method. The thermal stability, phase structure, light absorption property, and morphology of the catalyst prepared were characterized by thermogravimetric analyzer (TG), X‐ray diffraction (XRD), ultraviolet visible spectrophotometer (UV/Vis), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), respectively. Using methyl orange (MO) as the target degradation material and a 500‐W dysprosium lamp as the visible light source to investigate photocatalytic performance of BiVO4. We successfully prepared BiVO4 powders with small particle size, less agglomeration and uniform distribution by carbon adsorption hydrothermal method, and the absorption wavelength of light was red‐shifted, these all rendered the absorption capacity of visible light region enhancing with 94 % high photocatalytic degradation rate of methyl orange at 60 min. And the possible mechanism was also discussed in this study.
