The present work reports the degradation of 4-nitrophenol using BiVO/CuO hybrid material synthesized by the precipitation of BiVO in the presence of CuO. Morphological and structural characterizations were performed using X-ray diffraction and scanning electronic microscopy coupled to energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Through the calculation of the Kubelka-Munk function applied to diffuse reflectance spectrophotometry data, the hybrid material presented absorption edge of 1.
