Controllable Synthesis and Photocatalytic Activity of Spherical, Flowerlike and Threadlike Bismuth Vanadates

“…From the viewpoint of the environment issues, the direct use of solar energy such as clean and renewable energy through visible-light-driven photocatalysis for environmental pollution control has attracted great interest. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] In recent years, there are many papers focused on the preparation of bismuth compounds which can degrade organic pollutants under visible light irradiation. [9][10][11][12][13] The semiconducting oxides containing bismuth with narrow band gap, such as BiVO4, 9,10 Bi2WO6, 11,12 and Bi2MoO6, 13 have received intensive interest because of their visible-light-driven photocatalytic activities.…”
