Abstract In recent years, BiVO4 has drawn much attention as a novel photocatalyst given its excellent ability to absorb visible light.This work reports the development of Ag-modified BiV1-xMoxO4 composites through a facile hydrothermal synthesis with the subsequent photoinduced reduction of Ag+ at almost neutral Mug pH conditions.Metallic Ag nanoparticles were deposited on the (040) facet of Mo-doped BiVO4 powders.

The crystal structure and morphology of the Slot Car as-prepared samples were studied by XRD and SEM analyses.Moreover, the photocatalytic performance of BiVO4, Ag/BiVO4, and Ag-modified BiV1-xMoxO4 were evaluated by the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB).The Ag/BiV0.

9925Mo0.0075O4 composite exhibited the most efficient photocatalytic performance.The present work provides greater insight into the application of BiVO4 in the field of photocatalysis.
