Solid oxide cells are a promising alternative since the performance in terms of the energy demand and the purity degree is independent from the system capacity, making them suitable for several application fields.

Ultrasonic spray pyrolysis (USP) was used to deposit BiVO<sub>4</sub> and TiO<sub>2</sub>-GO layers on fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) electrodes.

Compared to the pristine BiVO<sub>4</sub> photoanode, the heterojunction photoanode showed 50 % higher removal efficiency for BTA, CBZ and CAF. The reaction kinetics revealed that the first order rate coefficient for DIC removal was about nine times higher than that of CBZ and fifteen times higher than those of BTA and CAF.
