The invention discloses a method for producing an H-occupied BiVO4-OVs photocatalytic material and application of the H-occupied BiVO4-OVs photocatalytic material. The production method comprises thesteps of dissolving a certain molar weight of Bi(NO3)3.5 H2O in glycerin; dissolving a certain molar weight of NaVO3.2 H2O in deionized water; mixing solutions; transferring a mixed solution into a teflon-lined high-pressure kettle, and maintaining 180 DEG C for 8 h; conducting 10000-rpm centrifugal separation on a solvothermal synthesis product, washing the solvothermal synthesis product subjected to 10000-rpm centrifugal separation with deionized water and ethyl alcohol, and drying the washed solvothermal synthesis product subjected to 10000-rpm centrifugal separation at 60 DEG C for 4 h; calcining the solvothermal synthesis product, which is thoroughly washed, in a muffle furnace at 300 DEG C for 5 h; and conducting annealing on a calcined product in an Ar/H2 atmosphere at 350 DEG C for10 h to obtain the H-occupied BiVO4-OVs photocatalytic material. The H-occupied BiVO4-OVs photocatalytic material has the advantages that a photoresponse range is wide, the catalytic activity is high, the degradation rate is high, and the hydrolysis ability is high; and solar energy can be fully and effectively used.
