Abstract

Chemistry Chemistry, Multidisciplinary Physical Sciences Science & Technology
Unprecedented, oxygen defect-rich, monoclinic BiVO4 nanotubes with largely exposed active {010} facets were successfully fabricated through a self-curling process of nascently generated ultrathin lamellar sheets, exhibiting impressive photocatalytic performance for both water oxidation and the selective NQN coupling reaction of 5-amino-1H-tetrazole into sodium 5,5-azotetrazolate, with more than an order of magnitude enhancement relative to bulk materials.
