Abstract

The effects of the substitution of V5+ with Ni2+ at the corresponding sites in BiVO4 on the crystal structures, optical properties, and photocatalytic efficiency of BiVO4 was investigated. Ni2+ cations doped at the V5+ sites in BiVO4 was confirmed by X-ray diffraction, Raman, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, ultraviolet–visible diffuse reflectance spectra, and photoluminescence spectra. Ni-doped BiVO4 exhibited excellent degradation of crystal violet (CV) compared with the bare BiVO4. For optimal Ni2+ doping of 5%, the degradation rate of CV, which reached about 95% within 180 min of LED light irradiation, was obtained. Ni doping can introduce advantageous defect states that significantly increase the separation and diffusion efficiency of the photo-induced charge carriers, thereby boosting the photocatalytic activity of crystal structures.
