Semiconductor photocatalysis is an Advanced Oxidation Technology that uses light as a source of energy to accelerate the degradation of harmful organic pollutants. Current research addresses the development of photocatalysts capable of harvesting visible l ...
The photodegradation of phenol and dichloroacetic acid (DCAA) by \ce{BiVO4} was studied in the absence as well as presence of selected electron scavengers. The experiments were performed under the visible (vis) irradiation of aqueous solutions over a wide ...
The synthesis of bismuth vanadate (BiVO4) nanoparticles has drawn considerable attention to their application as a visible-light-driven photocatalyst. Several techniques are addressing the enlargement of surface area, but some of them can cause impurities ...
