Facile preparation of highly cost-effective BaSO4@BiVO4 core-shell structured brilliant yellow pigment
2016
Abstract BiVO 4 as an environmentally-friendly yellow pigment has been received increasing attention over the past two decades. Unfortunately, the relatively high cost hinders its large-scale applications. Herein, core-shell structured BaSO 4 @BiVO 4 yellow pigments with a mean particle size of 193 nm were successfully synthesized, in which the BiVO 4 coating has a pure monoclinic scheelite structure and a thickness of ∼5 nm. It is found that the appropriate particle size and monoclinic scheelite BiVO 4 coating give this pigment a brilliant greenish-yellow color. For the BaSO 4 @BiVO 4 micro-composite loaded with 16.3 wt.% BiVO 4 , its color coordinate L * and b * values can reach up to 76.53 and 75.46, much higher than the corresponding values 64.50 and 60.11 of pure BiVO 4 . Consequently, our strategy can save at least 83.7 wt.% BiVO 4 without any detriments to color properties and also shows great potential in cutting down the cost of other expensive pigments.
