Abstract

β-AgVO₃ nanowires were synthesized by a simple hydrothermal process. With β-AgVO₃ providing a V source, BiVO₄@β-AgVO₃ composites were obtained through an in situ growth process. BiVO₄@β-AgVO₃ composites exhibited enhanced photocatalytic properties. We discussed the possible mechanism of enhanced photocatalytic activities. The effect of content and size of BiVO₄ was also studied specifically.
