Abstract
Bismuth vanadate (BiVO4), a well-known semiconductor photocatalyst with various advantages, has shown great potential in addressing energy and environmental issues. However, its inherent drawbacks restrict the photocatalytic performance of pure BiVO4. In the past few years, many efforts have been devoted to improving the catalytic activity of BiVO4 and revealing the degradation mechanism in depth. In this review, we summarized the recent progress on BiVO4 in the field of photocatalytic degradation, including the strategies which enhance light absorption ability and suppress the recombination of charge carriers of BiVO4, as well as the related degradation mechanism. Finally, future prospects and challenges are summarized, which may provide new guidelines for designing more effective BiVO4-based photocatalysts for the degradation of persistent organic pollutants.
期刊介绍:
Nanomaterials (ISSN 2076-4991) is an international and interdisciplinary scholarly open access journal. It publishes reviews, regular research papers, communications, and short notes that are relevant to any field of study that involves nanomaterials, with respect to their science and application. Thus, theoretical and experimental articles will be accepted, along with articles that deal with the synthesis and use of nanomaterials. Articles that synthesize information from multiple fields, and which place discoveries within a broader context, will be preferred. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical research in as much detail as possible. Full experimental or methodical details, or both, must be provided for research articles. Computed data or files regarding the full details of the experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material. Nanomaterials is dedicated to a high scientific standard. All manuscripts undergo a rigorous reviewing process and decisions are based on the recommendations of independent reviewers.
