Combinatorial Discovery of Visible-Light Driven Photocatalysts Based on the ABO3-type (A= Y, La, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Dy, Yb, B = Al and In) Binary Oxides
文摘
A combinatorial approach was used to systematically investigate the photocatalytic activities of different kinds of ABO3-type oxides (A = Y, La, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Dy, Yb; B = Al, In). Two novel photocatalysts, cubic YInO3 and perovskite YAlO3, were identified rapidly. Scale-up experiments confirmed that the two photocatalysts, especially the YInO3, had excellent photocatalytic activity for toluene oxidation and water splitting under visible-light irradiation.
