Herein, we report the synthesis of novel nitrogen doped reduced graphene oxide/ BiVO photo catalyst by single step hydrothermal method. The physicochemical properties of the catalysts were characterized using XRD, N adsorption-desorption, Raman, XPS, SEM TEM, DRS-UV and EIS techniques. The synthesiz...
