© 2020 Elsevier B.V. The development of a highly efficient and rapid method for the accurate preparation of photocatalysts with novel morphologies is a hot research topic. The different morphologies of BiVO4 was prepared using surfactants-assisted microwave method, and demonstrated irregular (no surfactant), octahedral (sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate), olive-like (polyvinylpyrrolidone) and hollow structures (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid), respectively. The BiVO4-CdS were synthesized using the chemical-bath-deposition method with different morphologies of BiVO4 as the substrates. The hollow structure of BiVO4 displayed the highest photocatalytic performance. Moreover, the photodegradation rates of the hollow structure BiVO4-CdS on tetracycline hydrochloride and ciprofloxacin were about 1.8 and 1.5 times higher than the corresponding BiVO4, indicating that the Z-scheme heterojunction can improve the photogenerated electron pairs separation efficiency. Furthermore, the regulation mechanism of morphology and energy-band position, as produced using the surfactants, has also been thoroughly investigated in this work, which provides a novel insight into the efficient and rapid preparation of photocatalysts with special morphology and high performance.
