Abstract:This study utilized
a simple hydrothermal technique to prepare
pure BiVO4 and tightly bound BiVO4/multiwalled
carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) nanocomposite materials. The surfactant
was employed to control the growth, size, and assembly of BiVO4 and the nanocomposite. Various techniques including X-ray
diffraction (XRD), Ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis), photoluminescence
(PL), Raman, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron
microscopy (SEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) were
utilized … Show more
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.
