Bismuth vanadate (BiVO4) powder was prepared by the solvothermal method. Bismuth nitrate and ammonium vanadate were used as the starting precursors with mole ratio of 1:1. The mixed solution was heated in the solvothermal vessel at 100°C for 2-6 h. The phase of BiVO4 powder was characterized by X-ra...
