Multiple ion doping in BiVO4 as an effective strategy of enhancing photoelectrochemical water splitting: A review

Bismuth vanadate (BiVO4) is one of the extensively studied semiconductors in solar water splitting reactions. Due to its inherent properties, much of the utilization of BiVO4 in water splitting is focused on the modified form rather than in native or pure form. Because the pure BiVO4 suffers from nu...
