Improved visible light photocatalytic activity of mesoporous FeVO4 nanorods synthesized using a reactable ionic liquid

Abstract

Abstract:

Mesoporous FeVO₄ nanorods were successfully synthesized by calcining the precursor FeVO₄·1.1H₂O nanorods, which were obtained via a simple hydrothermal method in the presence of a reactable metal-ion-containing ionic liquid, 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrachloride ferrate(Ⅲ) ([Omim]FeCl₄). The structure and morphology of the prepared samples were examined using various characterization techniques. During the synthetic process,[Omim]FeCl₄ acted as the solvent, reactant, and capping agent simultaneously. Moreover, the porous FeVO₄ nanorods as the heterogeneous photo-Fenton-like semiconductor catalyst for the degradation of tetracycline and rhodamine B under visible light irradiation exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity. This excellent photocatalytic activity of the porous FeVO₄ nanorods can be attributed to the synergistic effect of their high electron-hole pair separation rate, suitable band gap structure, and large specific surface area. The possible photocatalytic degradation mechanism of FeVO₄/H₂O₂ photocatalytic systems was also discussed in detail.

Key words: FeVO₄, Visible light, Photodegradation, Ionic liquid
