Comparison of Synthetic Routes for Large-scale Synthesis of Spherical BiVO4 with Photocatalytic and Superhydrophobic Properties
The spherical BiVO4 in tetragonal and monoclinic scheelite phases have been prepared through five general methods by using K6V10O28 center dot 9H(2)O as self-sacrifice templates. The morphology of these BiVO4 is kept spherical because of K6V10O28 center dot 9H(2)O as self-sacrifice templates. The microwave-assisted synthesis of tetragonal BiVO4 is convenient, and ultrasonic synthesis is the best choice for the synthesis of monoclinic BiVO4.
