BiVO4-TiO2 Nanocomposite: Synthesis and Photocatalytic Investigation

Article Preview

Abstract:

BiVO4 composited with TiO2 (BVO-T) nanoparticles was sensitized by tetrakis(4-carboxy phenyl)porphyrin (TCPP) dye (BVO-T/P) to efficiently utilize visible light in the photodegradation reaction. To investigate the photoactivity of this catalyst, its photocatalytic efficiency was compared to the pure TiO2, pure BiVO4, and BiVO4 composited with TiO2 in the destruction of methyl orange in the visible light. Furthermore, the kinetic of the MO degradation as well as the stability of BVO-T/P photocatalyst was investigated.
