Abstract
Photocatalysis is useful for the long-term goal of a pollution-free environment. However, the development
of new photoactive materials with enhanced photoconversion efficiency remains a serious bottleneck. This study
demonstrates the preparation of low-cost, nontoxic, rod-like -Mn2V2O7 using a simple, cost-effective fabrication
method. The proposed photoactive material was characterized using several analytical techniques to determine its
physiochemical properties, while its photocatalytic ability for the removal of organic pollutants under direct sunlight
was also assessed. The prepared -Mn2V2O7 was found to efficiently remove both Rhodamine B and methylene blue
from an aqueous solution. The photoinduced and ultra-sound-assisted catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) was
also demonstrated. The hydrogen-evolved photocatalytic removal of 4-NP was evaluated with different amounts of ethanol as a scavenger, with 10% ethanol exhibiting optimal efficiency. The superior organic pollutant removal ability of
the proposed material is ascribed to its high surface area, superior optical properties, and suitable band edges.
