Structural characteristics and spectral response of composite transition metal oxide photocatalytic materials
Source abstract
Abstract
Layered composite materials formed by the transition metal oxides, including the niobates, titanates, titanoniobates, and tantalates, have been studied as a kind of new photocatalytic materials because of their unique structures and properties. Their photocatalytic performance could be modified by adjusting the laminate composition, selecting appropriate phase structure, exchanging interlayer cations or intercalated-pillaring, exfoliated-assembling, etc. The purpose of this present paper is to review the main factors affecting photocatalytic performance of the layered composite transition metal oxides and to provide reference for further construction of new photocatalytic materials.
