Surfactants-assisted preparation of BiVO4 with novel morphologies via microwave method and CdS decoration for enhanced photocatalytic properties

Improved photoredox activity of the 2D Bi4Ti3O12–BiVO4–Bi4V2O10 heterostructure via the piezoelectricity-enhanced charge transfer effect

“…34,35 Five typical vibrational bands at around 130, 215, 325, 370, and 827 cm −1 were attributed to the characteristic peaks of monoclinic BiVO 4 , which were observed for BVO and all the BTO/BVO heterostructures. 36 This Raman analysis was consistent with the XRD results. The 325 and 370 cm −1 bands revealed the deformation information of the VO 4…”

Diethylenetriamine-Functionalized CdS Nanoparticles Decorated on Cu2S Snowflake Microparticles for Photocatalytic Hydrogen Production

“…Recently, various approaches have been taken to further improve the CdS charge-transfer efficiency and carrier lifetime, such as depositing noble metals, − loading cocatalysts, − and constructing heterojunctions. − Generally, the loading co-catalyst can act as a trapping center for photogenerated charges during photocatalytic H 2 production . The noble metal deposited on the photocatalyst provides additional active sites .…”

A dual-functional catalyst: wood-templated BiVO4–CdS for wood dye wastewater

“…12,13 However, the coupling of the two still suffers from the lack of capacity to adsorb for pollutant molecules. 14…”

“…12,13 However, the coupling of the two still suffers from the lack of capacity to adsorb for pollutant molecules. 14 Plenty of reports declare that different micromorphologies affect the adsorption properties of BiVO 4 . 15 For example, BiVO 4 articial leaves that replicate the unique leaf-like morphology 16 and corn straw templates of BiVO 4 (ref.…”
