Abstract

A novel multiresponsive function of monoclinic BiVO(4) has been put forward for the first time, and loosely packed monoclinic BiVO(4) nanoellipsoids with many exposed crystal planes have been designed and synthesized in order to improve their smart multiresponses to visible light, trace gas and temperature.
