Abstract

Abstract:

Silver vanadium tetraoxide and graphene oxide(Ag₃VO₄/GO) composites were prepared by Hummers and liquid phase precipitation methods respectively. The obtained samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), and ultraviolet-visible(UV-Vis) diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The effect of GO content on the photocatalytic activity of Ag₃VO₄ was evaluated by photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange(MO) under visible light irradiation(λ≥420 nm). The results show that GO dopped Ag₃VO₄ nanoparticles can improve the degradation efficiency. At the optimal GO content(2% mass fraction), the degradation rate of MO over GO/Ag₃VO₄ is 89% after 30 min of light irradiation, exhibiting 1.6 times higher activity than that of pure Ag₃VO₄.

Key words: liquid phase precipitation, Hummers method, silver vanadium tetraoxide and graphene oxide composites, visible light photocatalysis
