The invention discloses a
biomimetic synthesis method of a
bismuth vanadate visible-light-driven photocatalyst with different microtopographies. The method comprises the following steps: dissolving 0.125-1 g of
gelatin into 50 ml of dilute
nitric acid solution with a
molar concentration of 1 mol / L; after the
gelatin is completely dissolved, adding 1 mmol of a Bi(NO3)3.5H2O
solid, stirring for 1 h, adding 1 mmol of NH4VO3
powder, and stirring for 30 min; adjusting the pH value of the obtained solution to be 1-9 by using
ammonium hydroxide; after stirring for 40 min, transferring a precursor solution to a
hydrothermal reaction kettle with a volume of 80 ml to react for 24 h at a temperature of 120-180 DEG C; after the reaction is completed, taking the obtained product out of the reaction kettle and cooling to
room temperature, carrying out
centrifugal separation so as to obtain a yellow precipitate, and repeatedly washing the yellow precipitate by using deionized water and
anhydrous ethanol; putting the obtained product into a
drying oven to dry for 12 h at a temperature of 60 DEG C, so that the
bismuth vanadate visible-light-driven photocatalyst with different microtopographies is prepared. According to the invention, synthesis in organic reagents or in mixed solvents of organic reagents and water is avoided, therefore, the
biomimetic synthesis method is an environment-friendly synthesis method; the prepared
bismuth vanadate visible-light-driven photocatalyst with different microtopographies has a high visible-light catalytic activity.
