The present study investigates the synthesis, characterization, and photocatalytic activity of mercury vanadate (Hg2VO4) (MV) nanoparticles (NPs) synthesized by the microwave method. Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis indicated the formation of a monoclinic structure of Hg2VO4 phase with averag...
