Highlights: [•] The B-doped BiVO4 was synthesized and characterized. [•] The B doping can significantly increase the photocatalytic activity of BiVO4. [•] The maximum activity was observed when the molar ratio of B/Bi was 0.04. [•] The higher activity can be related to more oxygen vacancies, V4+ and a red shift. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
