Porous BiVO4 film was fabricated by templating procedure with polystyrene (PS) balls as the template. Ag particles were loaded on the porous BiVO4 film by photoreduction technique. SEM revealed there were many pores in the film and Ag particles were successfully loaded on the porous BiVO4 film. XRD analysis indicated that the chemical state of Ag particles was metallic Ag. The experiment of photocatalytic degradation of phenol showed that the degradation rate on porous Ag/BiVO4 film was 4.74 times as much as that on the BiVO4 film. The enhanced photocatalytic performance was firstly attributed to the rapid transfer of the photogenerated electrons from BiVO4 to Ag, which could increase the charge carrier separation, limit their recombination, and enhance the photocatalytic efficiency. Furthermore, porosity of the photocatalyst may enhance diffusion process and decrease diffusion resistance of the reactants throughout the channels in the photocatalyst, and thus improves the surface reactions. |
