Abstract

Using a Nb-modified BiVO₄ film, the photo-induced properties in Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) inactivation under simulated solar light reached 43% after 1 hour of irradiation, while 72% of Rhodamine B was degraded after 3 hours. To evaluate the efficiency of Nb–BiVO₄, its photo-performance was compared with that of BiVO₄/TiO₂ composites and pure BiVO₄.
