Abstract
In this research, olive-like Pd/BiVO4 was successfully prepared through a facile hydrothermal coreduction method for the photocatalytic degradation of formaldehyde under visible light irradiation. The structure, composition, and optical properties of the as-prepared Pd/BiVO4
were characterized through X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and photoluminescence. In addition, the photocatalytic activities of Pd/BiVO4 were evaluated through the photodegradation of formaldehyde.
The experimental results demonstrated that the degradation efficiency of formaldehyde increased with increasing irradiation time. Moreover, 1.0 wt% Pd/BiVO4 exhibited the highest photocatalytic performance for formaldehyde degradation in 180 min, with the formaldehyde degradation
rate as high as 87.5%.
