Spherical, flowerlike, and threadlike bismuth vanadates (BiVO₄) were synthesized via a controllable hydrothermal method without using any surfactant or template. The optical and photocatalytic properties of the BiVO₄ samples were investigated. The phase structures of the BiVO₄ samples were observed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), which indicated that the as-prepared samples possessed monoclinic cells. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) observations showed that BiVO₄ crystals with different morphologies were fabricated simply by manipulating the parameters of the hydrothermal reaction. On the basis of the structural analysis of samples obtained under different conditions, a possible mechanism for the formation of these distinct morphologies was proposed. UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectra (UV-Vis DRS) of the samples revealed that the band gaps of the BiVO₄ photocatalysts were about 2.19-2.33 eV. The as-prepared BiVO₄ photocatalysts exhibited higher photocatalytic activities toward the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) under visible light irradiation (λ>420 nm) than commercial P25 TiO₂ and traditional N-doped TiO₂ (N-TiO₂). Spherical BiVO₄ showed the highest photocatalytic activity of the samples, decolorizing up to 100% of RhB upon visible light irradiation for 180 min. The reason for the different photocatalytic activities of the BiVO₄ samples fabricated at different pH was systematically studied by considering their structure and morphology.
