Abstract:Bismuth vanadate (BiVO 4 ) is a well-known photoanode in photocatalytic engineering. The structural stability and tunability of BiVO 4 are of great interest and importance but have not been well-explored, especially under pressure. Here, we studied the structure evolution of fergusonite-type BiVO 4 nanosheets using in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, ultraviolet−visible absorption spectroscopy, and optical microscopy analysis up to ∼41.7 GPa; despite the previously reported fergusonite t… Show more
