Abstract

In this work, we report the fabrication of BiVO₄ nanobelts with tailored structures by an electrospinning technique. The as-fabricated BiVO₄ nanobelts exhibited enhanced photodegradation of Rhodamine B as well as photoelectrocatalytic water splitting performance in comparison to the conventional nanofibers, suggesting their promising applications in environmental treatment and energy conversion.
