Abstract

The Bismuth vanadate (BiVO4) nanoparticles were synthesized using the simple sol–gel auto-combustion method. The synthesized BiVO4 NPs showed monoclinic nanostructure in their X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern. The field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) was used to examine the surface morphology of the synthesized BiVO4 and using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), the elemental content and purity of the fabricated NPs was verified. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) was used to identify the functional groups present on the surface of BiVO4 NPs. The absorption spectra of BiVO4 NPs showed large absorbance in visible region and band gap was found 2.32 eV. The photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy showed a broadband peak of emission at 578 nm. These BiVO4 NPs also demonstrated supercapacitor characteristics. At a scan rate of 5 mV/s, the maximum specific capacitance was found to be 1160.05 F/g in a 1 M Na2SO4 electrolyte. The BiVO4 samples synthesized for use as supercapacitors have very low resistance and show the good electrochemical performance.
