BiVO4-rGO with a novel structure on steel fabric used as high-performance photocatalysts

Abstract A high-performance and novel photocatalyst of BiVO4-reduced Graphene Oxide (BiVO4-rGO) nanocomposite was prepared by a facile hydrothermal method. The photocatalyst was characterized by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electroni...
