Article Description

Herein, we show that composites of BiTaO-BiTaOX (X = Cl, Br), two important Bi- and Ta-based light-responsive phases, can be prepared by high temperature, ambient air treatment of the precursors including easily oxidizable BiOX that retain the halide phases in excess of 60% and exhibit high photocatalytic activity. Furthermore, when these phases were loaded with less than 1% noble metals (Pd, Pt, Ag), nearly complete separation of the photogenerated excitons was observed, leading to a significant enhancement in the photocatalytic activity.
