Photocatalytic behavior of silver vanadates: Microemulsion synthesis and post-reaction characterization

Silver vanadates with light absorption properties in the visible region were successfully prepared by a low temperature pathway (not exceeding 110°C) using an optimized microemulsion methodology. The resulting materials were evaluated as photocatalysts in Rhodamine B photodegradation and characteriz...
