© 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. Pure monoclinic bismuth vanadate (BiVO 4 ) nanoparticles were successfully prepared using a single step, pH-controlled, microwave approach. This simple, fast, synthesis is shown to be an industrially viable, low temperature (≤90 °C, non-vacuum) and environme...
