Preparation of visible light-responsive photocatalytic paper containing BiVO@diatomite/MCC/PVBCFs for degradation of organic pollutants.

Combining adsorption and photocatalysis is an effective strategy for degrading organic pollutants. Here, BiVO@diatomite composite photocatalyst (BiVO@diatomite CP) was prepared by hydrothermal synthesis from Bi(NO)·5HO glycerin solution, NHVO solution and diatomite. BiVO@diatomite/microcrystalline cellulose/PVB composite fibers (BiVO@diatomite/MCC/PVBCFs) were prepared from BiVO@diatomite CPs, microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) and PVB ethanol solution using the electrospinning method.
