Band Engineering of Photocatalytic BiVO<sub>4</sub> with Modified Vanadium States via Potassium Chloride Addition during Hydro-Thermal Synthesis and Post-Annealing

The monoclinic BiVO<sub>4</sub> in a powder state was prepared via a hydrothermal method, with the addition of KCl as a structure-directing agent. The as-prepared sample was calcined at different temperatures (400–600 °C), either in the air or in Ar gas. It is found that, though the morp...
