Novel visible light photochromic silica sol gel hybrid film was successfully synthesized by blending the composite of bismuth vanadate (BiVO 4 ) and phosphotungst ic acid (PWA). The crystal phase, microstructure, photochromic properties and mechanism were investigated via X raydiffraction ( XRD ), transmission electron microscope (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT IR), ultraviolet visible (UV Vis) spec tra and X ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). XRD pattern confirmed the existence of BiVO 4 and PWA in SiO 2 sol gel composite films. FT IR results indicated that the basic structure of BiVO 4 nanopartical and the Keggin geometry of PWA were not damaged in the process of compositing and there was a strong interaction between BiVO 4 and PWA. TEM images showed that PWA with the homogeneous spherical morphology well dispersed in the surface of BiVO 4 and a part of PWA embedded into BiVO 4 hybrid film. Irradiated w ith visible light, the composite film turned to blue from colorless. The hybrid film showed reversible photochromism in the presence of oxygen. According to XPS results, PWA accepted electrons from BiVO 4 and the photo reduction process was concerned with p hotogenerated electron transfer mechanism..

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
