Abstract:In this work, cobalt-doped oxygen-vacancies-rich BiVO 4 (Co/BiVO 4 -V o ) was successfully synthesized for the degradation of tetracycline (TC) by activated peroxymonosulfate (PMS) under visible light. The morphologies, microstructures, and optical properties of the photocatalysts were analyzed in detail. Co/BiVO 4 -V o exhibited significantly enhanced degradation, removing 92.3% of TC within 10 min, which was greater than those of pure BiVO 4 (62.2%) and oxygenvacancies-rich BiVO 4 (BiVO 4 -V o ) (72.0%), res… Show more
