Simulated Sun-Light-Driven Degradation of Rhodamine B by Porous Peanut-like Sm-Doped BiVO₄ Sub-Microstructures

Abstract:

Porous peanut-like Sm-doped BiVO₄ sub-microstructures were synthesized via a hydrothermal process with bismuth nitrate, ammonium metavanadate and Sm (NO₃)₃ as raw materials. The crystal structures, morphologies, and optical properties of the as-prepared samples were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, transmission electron microscope, scanning electron microscopy, and UV-visible absorption spectra. Simulated solar light induced photocatalytic degradation of Rhodamine B by porous peanut-like Sm-doped BiVO₄ sub-microstructures have been investigated, and results show the 2% Sm-doped BiVO₄ porous sub-microstructures with higher photocatalytic activity than other samples.
