Cu2−x Se Modification onto Monoclinic BiVO4 for Enhanced Photocatalytic Activity Under Visible Light

Abstract The rapid recombination of electron-hole pairs in BiVO4 has limited its performance as a photocatalysis. In this paper, BiVO4 is combined with Cu2−x Se semiconductor to slow down the recombination process, and thus improve its photocatalytic activity. This is enabled by careful band structu...
