Abstract

Contamination of water from the textile mills and natural contaminants has increased in recent decades, prompting the design of multifunctional and ecologically friendly materials. In this research, FeVO4 nanorod were synthesized by in situ hydrothermal method. X-ray diffraction, Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy, Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy, Transmission Electron Microscopy, UV-Visible spectroscopy and Photoluminescence spectroscopy were used to confirm the structural, morphological, and optical properties of as-synthesised FeVO4, respectively. Peak detection employing XRD and FT-IR further confirmed this formation. A rod-like shape was recognized using FE-SEM and HRTEM, and imageJ assessments revealed that the nanorod average length and wide are ~172.9 and ~20 nm. Under visible light, the photocatalytic reaction of the FeVO4 nanorod was investigated for the degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) dye.
