Bismuth vanadate (BiVO) nanostructured films were prepared and successfully applied for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation for the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) in aqueous solution. The BiVO thin films were obtained by thermal reaction between electrodeposited bismuth (Bi) films and vanadium precursor. The as-prepared BiVO porous, nanoflowers, and cluster nanostructures were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy, and BET analysis.

NPs are potentially responsible for conformational changes in polysaccharides, lipids, proteins, pectin, suberin and lignin molecules. 4 days of treatment with metal oxide caused a statistically significant increase in nicotinamide adénine dinucléotide oxidase activity in mitochondria and cytosol.
