Abstract | ||||
The improvement of the photocatalyst performance with reducing both equipment and cost of its production still the most important concern for finding, 1) Required material properties, 2) Possibility of manufactured mass production from the photocatalyst. Now, we reveal, a novel way for synthesis of BiVO4 photocatalyst by homogenous precipitation. Different surfactants were adding to assist in the orientation. XRD, SEM, Raman, and DRS were used to evaluate construction of the as-synthesized BiVO4 photocatalysts. The performance of photocatalytic efficiency of the as-synthesized catalysts were estimated by photoelectrochemical tests and photodegradation of Methylene blue (MB) dye as wastewater module | ||||
