Electronic structure of lanthanide-doped bismuth vanadates: a systematic study by X-ray photoelectron and optical spectroscopies

Monoclinic BiVO 4 has emerged in recent years as one of the most promising materials for photocatalytic evolution of oxygen under solar irradiation. However, it is in itself unable to phototcatalyze reduction of water to hydrogen due to the placement of the conduction band edge below the potential r...
