摘要：
In this contribution we report on the synthesis of n-type Bismuth vanadate (BiVO4) nanorods prepared via the use of aqueous extracts of Callistemon viminalis. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed the formation of highly crystalline monoclinic BiVO4 nanorods post annealing of the Bismuth vanadate precursor powder at 500 degrees C. Scanning Electron Microscopy and High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy showed that BiVO4 nanorods have a high aspect ratio. Using UV-Vis absorption measurements the optical band gap of the nanorods is estimated to be 2.4 eV which makes the bio-synthesized BiVO4 powder a good candidate for sunlight driven photocatalysis.
