A BiVO₄ film electrode was prepared using a home-made BiVO₄ nanopowder and the effects of annealing temperature and film thickness on its photoelectrochemical behavior, electron transport and recombination in the BiVO₄ electrode were systematically studied by electrochemical techniques. Experimental results indicate that the annealing temperature and film thickness can significantly influence the photoelectrochemical characteristics of the BiVO₄ electrode. At low annealing temperature (≤500 °C) the photoelectrochemical activity improved upon increasing the temperature and the optimal activity was obtained for the electrode annealed at 500 ° C. At high temperature (>500 ° C) the photoelectrochemical activity decreased because of a marked increase of bulk traps in the electrode. The BiVO₄ electrode showed od photon-to-electron conversion efficiency under visible light and its bandgap was found to be 2.36 eV based on an incident monochromatic photon-to-electric conversion efficiency curve. The flat-band potential (E_fb) of BiVO₄ was determined to be -0.7 V (vs Ag/AgCl) by the Mött Schottky method. These results give an important reference for the optimization of the BiVO₄ photocatalytic system.
