The structure and morphology of the prepared samples were examined using various characterization techniques. During the synthetic process,[Omim]FeCl4 acted as the solvent, reactant, and capping agent simultaneously. Moreover, the porous FeVO4 nanorods as the heterogeneous photo-Fenton-like semiconductor catalyst for the degradation of tetracycline and rhodamine B under visible light irradiation exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity. This excellent photocatalytic activity of the porous FeVO4 nanorods can be attributed to the synergistic effect of their high electron-hole pair separation rate, suitable band gap structure, and large specific surface area. The possible photocatalytic degradation mechanism of FeVO4/H2O2 photocatalytic systems was also discussed in detail.展开更多
