Synthesis of Nanocrytalline YVO₄ by Microwave Assisted Process and its Photocatalytic Activity

Abstract:

The YVO₄ was synthesized by microwave assisted process. The products were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method. The results show that YVO₄ was tetragonal crystal, particle size of 50 to 80 nm, band gap of 3.3 eV and surface area of 18.6m²/g. The photocatalytic experiment of YVO₄ shows the high photocatalytic activity for the decomposition of methyl orange under UV-light irradiation.
