Synthesis of BiVO4 nanoparticles with tunable oxygen vacancy level: The phenomena and mechanism for their enhanced photocatalytic performance

Yongxia Li et al.

Summary: Efficient visible-light-driven photocatalysts face challenges due to high charge recombination rates. The development of BiVO4 nanoparticles with controllable oxygen vacancy levels has shown a significant increase in photocatalytic efficiency, with the optimal oxygen vacancy level leading to a 38% improvement over pure BiVO4. Characterizations revealed that this increase was mainly due to the suppression of electron/hole recombination.
