Uniform nanowire-assembled CeVO₄ hollow microspheres were fabricated by a simple ethylene glycol (EG)-assisted solvothermal route, in which L-aspartic acid (L-Asp) was adopted as a functional agent and structure director. The as-prepared CeVO₄ sample was evaluated as an adsorbent for the removal of organic dyes from aqueous solutions, especially exhibiting excellent removal rate towards the Congo red (CR) dye. The kinetics and thermodynamic data confirmed that the adsorption of CR onto CeVO₄ microspheres was well fitted to the pseudo-second- order kinetics and Langmuir isotherm models. Moreover, a removal rate of 78.03% was maintained after four cycles, indicating good chemical stability and durability of the CeVO₄ adsorbent. The results suggest that the adsorption of CR molecules on CeVO₄ is a result of the synergistic effects of physical adsorption and hydrogen bonding.
