Abstract | Well-crystalline YVO4 nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by a simple and convenient one-step molten salt synthesis (MSS) method in a wide temperature range of 350-600 °C for only 5 h. The UV-Visible absorption spectra measured by a spectrophotometer suggest that visible light absorption exists in the absorption spectra of all the samples prepared under different temperatures and the smaller the particle size, the stronger the absorption, the smaller the onset of UV absorption and the larger the blue shift. The photodegradation of RB indicates that both particle size and crystallinity have effects on the photocatalytic properties of YVO4 nanoparticles. YVO4 nanoparticles were further demonstrated to have excellent photocatalytic stability. |
