BiVO4 nanoballs: a simple precipitation pathway, promising electrochemical sensor, and photodegradation under visible light

A highly efficient monoclinic bismuth vanadate (BiVO4) photocatalyst was synthesized using a simple, inexpensive, and straightforward precipitation approach. The structure, morphology, composition, and crystal structures were meticulously characterized through various spectroscopic techniques. A scanning electron microscopic images represent the nano-sized ball (NB) like structure of bismuth vanadate nanoparticles. Photocatalytic efficiency was assessed through degradation studies using methylene blue (MB) dye under visible light irradiation, demonstrating an impressive 93
