Substitution of V5+ in BiVO4 with Ni2+ and the Improved Photocatalytic Degradation of Crystal Violet Under White LED Light Irradiation
The effects of the substitution of V 5+ with Ni 2+ at the corresponding sites in BiVO 4 on the crystal structures, optical properties, and photocatalytic efficiency of BiVO 4 was investigated. Ni 2+ cations doped at the V 5+ sites in BiVO 4 was confirmed by X-ray diffraction, Raman, X-ray photoelect...

Summary: | The effects of the substitution of V
5+
with Ni
2+
at the corresponding sites in BiVO
4
on the crystal structures, optical properties, and photocatalytic efficiency of BiVO
4
was investigated. Ni
2+
cations doped at the V
5+
sites in BiVO
4
was confirmed by X-ray diffraction, Raman, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, ultraviolet–visible diffuse reflectance spectra, and photoluminescence spectra. Ni-doped BiVO
4
exhibited excellent degradation of crystal violet (CV) compared with the bare BiVO
4
. For optimal Ni
2+
doping of 5%, the degradation rate of CV, which reached about 95% within 180 min of LED light irradiation, was obtained. Ni doping can introduce advantageous defect states that significantly increase the separation and diffusion efficiency of the photo-induced charge carriers, thereby boosting the photocatalytic activity of crystal structures. |
