Photophysical properties and photocatalytic activities under visible light irradiation of silver vanadates
Abstract
α-AgVO3, β-AgVO3, Ag4V2O7 and Ag3VO4 prepared by precipitation and solid-state reactions showed intense absorption bands in the visible light region due to band gap transitions. Comparison of a diffuse reflectance spectrum of α-NaVO3 with that of α-AgVO3 with a diopside-type structure revealed that a band gap (2.5 eV) of α-AgVO3 was 0.6 eV smaller than that (3.1 eV) of α-NaVO3. The electronic band structure study using a plane-wave based density functional method indicated that the decrease in the band gap of α-AgVO3 was due to Ag 4d orbitals which formed a valence band at a more negative level than O 2p orbitals. Among α-AgVO3, β-AgVO3, Ag4V2O7 and Ag3VO4, only Ag3VO4 showed a photocatalytic activity for O2 evolution from an aqueous silver nitrate solution under visible light irradiation. Holes photogenerated in Ag3VO4 can migrate to the reaction sites on the surface more easily than those of other silver vanadates, because the content of silver forming a valence band is large. It resulted in that holes photogenerated in Ag3VO4 are able to oxidize H2O to form O2.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
