Herein, we demonstrate the synthesis of rGO/BiVO hybrid nanostructures by facile hydrothermal method. Morphological studies reveal that rGO sheets are embedded in the special dendritic fern-like structures of BiVO. The rGO/BiVO hybrid architecture shows the way to a rational design of supercapacitor, since these structures enable easy access of electrolyte ions by reducing internal resistance. Considering the unique morphological features of rGO/BiVO hybrid nanostructures, their supercapacitive properties were investigated. The rGO/BiVO electrode exhibits a specific capacitance of 151 F/g at the current density of 0.15 mA/cm. Furthermore, we have constructed rGO/BiVO symmetric cell which exhibits outstanding volumetric energy density of 1.6 mW h/cm (33.7 W h/kg) and ensures rapid energy delivery with power density of 391 mW/cm (8.0 kW/kg). The superior properties of symmetric supercapacitor can be attributed to the special dendritic fern-like BiVO morphology and intriguing physicochemical properties of rGO.

Herein, we performed an encyclopedic analysis on the photoelectrocatalytic hydrogen production of BiVO/g-CN decorated with reduced graphene oxide (RGO) or graphene quantum dots (GQDs). The differences between RGO and GQDs as an electron mediator was revealed for the first time in the perspective of theoretical DFT analysis and experimental validation. It was found that the incorporation of GQDs as an electron mediator promotes better photoelectrocatalytic hydrogen performance in comparison to the RGO.

Efficient interfacial exciton transfer and separation have been regarded as the foremost confront of semiconductor oriented photocatalysis. The simultaneous discovery of crystal facet isotype heterojunction across the (040)-reduction and (110)-oxidation facet of monoclinic scheelite BiVO crystal; and Schottky junction at the interfacial region of BiVO crystal with well-exposed functional (040) facet and r-GO sheets has been reflected as an efficient electron injection route. In this context lucrative architecture of a high productive all-solid-state Z-scheme charge transfer dynamics InS@r-GO@(040/110)-BiVO isotype ternary hybrid photocatalyst was carried out and well-validated by FESEM and HRTEM analyses.

BiVO is ubiquitously known for its potential use as photoanode for PEC-WS due to its well-suited band structure; nevertheless, it suffers from the major drawback of a slow electron hole separation and transportation. We have demonstrated the one-pot synthesis of BiVO/Ag/rGO hybrid photoanodes on a fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO)-coated glass substrate using a facile and cost-effective hydrothermal method. The structural, morphological, and optical properties were extensively examined, confirming the formation of hybrid heterostructures.
