Abstract:Cerium vanadate/Bentonite (CeVO4/bt) nanocomposite with different composition percentages was synthesized through a simple one-step hydrothermal method at 180 ℃ then photocatalytic activity was evaluated by decolorizing methylene blue (MB) in an aqueous solution under light exposure. The structural and optical properties of the synthesized composites were determined by XRD, FT-IR, DRS, FESEM, EDS, and BET measurements. XRD and EDS results confirmed the successful synthesis of CeVO4. The calculated band gap ene… Show more
