Abstract:Density functional theory calculation using Quantum Espresso package was conducted to study band gap and structural effect of BiVO4 by doping elements like Zr, Mo and S, to substitute Bi, V and O. Band gap of BiVO4 has been reduced from 2.25 to 1.54 eV by ~8% S2- substitution with O2-. Distance between atoms V-O increased by changing to V-S, which effects vibration of the atoms in the structure. ~2% substitution Mo and Zr with Bi and V changed monoclinic BiVO4 to mix phase of tetragonal scheelite phase. It has… Show more
