Sažetak
BiVO4 is considered to be a perspective photocatalyst due to its low band gap (2.34-2.90 eV). However, photocatalytic performance of pristine BiVO4 is limited due to high electronhole recombination rate and low electron mobility. Hence modifications are necessary to mitigate these drawbacks. In this work, several methods were employed to synthesize BiVO4. The photocatalysts were characterized using techniques such as BET, DRS, FTIR, SEM/EDX, XPS and XRD to inspect their structure, morphology, composition, surface and optical properties. In addition, photoelectrochemical performance of the new photocatalysts was investigated. Photostability of the photocatalysts was studied using chronoamperometric technique as well. To further asses the performance of as-prepared photocatalysts, their activity was examined for the treatment of diclofenac, one of the common contaminants of emerging concern.
