Field emission scanning electron microscopy showed that InVO4 crystals can be fabricated in different morphologies by simply manipulating the reuction parameters of hydrothermal process. The as-prepared InVO4 photocatalysts exhibited higher photocatalytic activities in the degradation of rhodamine B under visible-light irradiation （λ〉420 nm） compared with commercial P25 TiO2. Furthermore, the as-synthesized InVO4 hierarchical microspheres showed higher photocatalytic activity than that of InVO4 nanowires. Up to 100% Rh B （3 μmol/L） was decolorized after visible-light irradiation for 40 min. In addition, the reason for the difference in the photocatalytic activities for InVO4 hierarchical microspheres and InVO4 nanowires was studied based on their structures and morphologies.展开更多

The photocatalytic activities of the prepared sample were investigated by photocatalytic degradation of ethylene in the gaseous phase under visible light irradiation (λ>450 nm). The results indicate that both of pure TiO2 and InVO4 or their simple mixture show no photocatalytic activities for degradation of ethylene under visible light irradiation. However, as-synthesized InVO4-TiO2 catalyzes the degradation of ethylene into CO2 under visible light irradiation. In addition, the interaction between InVO4 and TiO2 results in some structural distortion to all the crystal forms of TiO2 in as-synthesized catalyst InVO4-TiO2.展开更多

The InVO4 sols with orthorhombic phase were obtained by hydrothermal treatment (the precursor precipitation solution at 423 K, for 4 h). The precursor and sol of InVO4 were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infra-red spectra (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) measurements. The XRD patterns indicate that the InVO4 precursor is amorphous phase, InVO4 sol contains orthorhombic InVO4 nanocrystals. The results also reveal that the pH value of the reaction mixture and reaction temperature play important roles to the target phase. InVO4-TiO2 thin films on glass slides were prepared by the dip-coating method from the composite sol. The photocatalytic properties of the InVO4-TiO2 thin films were investigated by the photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange solution. The results indicate that it has better photocatalytic activities than pure TiO2 thin films or pure InVO4 thin films with UV light.展开更多

Herein, InVO4 /g-C3 N4 (InVO-CN) heterojunction composite photocatalysts were prepared via in situ formation of InVO4 nanoparticles on the lamellar structure of graphite carbon nitride (g-C3 N4 ) containing nitrogen (N) defects. Among these composites, 30% InVO-CN showed the best photoreduction performance for CO_(2) at normal temperature and pressure without sacrificial agent (carbon monoxide, CO: 20.14 μmol g–1 h–1;methane, CH4 : 3.46 μmol g–1 h–1 ), which were 1.8 and 2.8 times higher than these of pure g-C3 N4 and InVO4 . The excellent performance could be attributed to the enhancement of CO_(2) adsorption, and most importantly, the enhanced charge carrier separation and reduction capacity induced by the formation of Z-scheme heterojunction between InVO4 and g-C3 N4 . In this work, intimate heterojunction interfaces between materials were formed by introducing g-C3 N4 with defects in InVO4 , which provides a promising modification scheme.展开更多
