Abstract:Various bismuth vanadate (BiVO 4) hierarchical micro/nanostructures with cocoon-like, flower-like and branch-like morphologies were successfully synthesised by a facile template-free solvothermal approach. The as-synthesised products were characterised by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution TEM, scanning electron microscopy, nitrogen adsorption-desorption and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy. The experimental results indicate that the volume ratio of ethylene glycol to wate… 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.
