    Abstract
    Synthesis, characterization and photoelectrocatalytic performance evaluation of worm-like BiVO4 porous films have been conducted in this research. An in situ combustion approach was employed to prepare BiVO4 nanolayers on glass and ITO/glass by using drop casting, spin coating, dip coating and pulsed spray pyrolysis deposition techniques. The precursor solution of vanadium and bismuth include ~0.0233g ammonium metavanadate (NH4VO3) and ~0.0970g bismuth (III) nitrate pentahydrate (Bi(NO3)3.5H2O) in 2.5 mL ethylene glycol. Different deposition parameters were investigated for each of the aforementioned deposition techniques to obtain a uniformly-deposited BiVO4 nanolayer with high adhesion to...
