Abstract

Conical morphologies with sharp tips exhibit excellent optical absorption and electric field enhancement features. We have synthesized conical structured BiVO₄ crystals with a smooth curved surface and sharp tips by a simple two-phase route. The samples possess the ability to expand the visible light absorption region and are suitable for photocatalytic water oxidation.
