Abstract:Bismuth vanadate/coconut
fiber (BiVO4/CF) composites
were synthesized by coprecipitation and calcination methods. All catalysts
used in this work were prepared by a simple coprecipitation method
and fully characterized by means of XRD, SEM-EDS, PL, BET N2 adsorption, zeta potential, and UV–vis DRS. Degradation of
indigo carmine (IC) under visible light irradiation was tracked by
the UV–vis technique. It was documented that XRD patterns of
BiVO4 and BiVO4/CF samples retained the monoclinic
structure. From SEM, … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
