Abstract:

Bismuth vanadate (BiVO₄) powder was synthesized by a modified microwave method. Bismuth nitrate pentahydrate, ammonium metavanadate and 2-propanol were used as the starting precursors. The final pH of solution was adjusted to 7 and irradiation power at 600 Watt for 2 and 6 min. The yellow powder was filtered and dried at 100 °C for 24h. The phase of BiVO₄ powder was characterized by X-ray diffractometer (XRD). Multi-phase of monoclinic and tetragonal phase was obtained without calcination step. The morphology of BiVO₄ powder was investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The BiVO₄ powder was irregular in shape and agglomerated with the range particle of 0.1–0.3 μm. The functional group of BiVO₄ powder was investigated by fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR). The wavenumber at 498–502 cm^-1 and 746–762 cm^-1 was corresponding to the vibration of Bi-O bending and VO₄^3- stretching, respectively.
