In this work, villi-microstructured Au-loaded BiVO4 photocatalysts were successfully synthesized by hydrothermal method. The as-synthesized characterized XRD, Raman, UV-Vis-DRS, PL, SEM and EDX techniques. presence of metallic Au on the surface Vm-BiVO4 support boosts photocatalytic performance to degrade toxic crystal violet dye. enhanced activities attributed plasmon resonance (SPR) which efficiently broadens visible light response. SPR increases electron population in forms a Schottky...
