Synthesis of Z-scheme Ag₄V₂O₇/Ag₃VO₄/GO nanocomposites for photocatalytic degradation of DDT under visible light.

ABSTRACT: The direct Z-scheme Ag₄V₂O₇/Ag₃VO₄/GO (AVGZ) nanostructure was successfully synthesized using a hydrothermal method with microwave-assisted techniques. The obtained AVGZ catalyst was characterized by XRD, TEM, EDX, UV-Vis, PL, and XPS methods. The characterization results showed that under controlled pH conditions, the orderly stacking of vanadium oxide tetrahedron formed Ag₄V₂O₇ nanoparticles (NPs) on the surface of Ag₃VO₄ nanorods (with a diameter of 50-200 nm). Interestingly, the AVGZ exhibited absorbance in the visible light region at 470-550 nm wavelengths. The photocatalytic performance of AVGZ was evaluated by the degradation of dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane (DDT) under
