Constructing Rh–Rh³⁺ modified Ta₂O₅@TaON@Ta₃N₅ with special double n–n mutant heterojunctions for enhanced photocatalytic H₂-evolution

Abstract

Localized built-in electric fields at multiple hierarchical interfaces facilitate the efficient separation and fast inside-out directional transfer of photogenerated carriers.

Multiprocessing Substrates Enhanced Ta2O5/NiCo2O4 Spinel Nanocomposites for Effective Electro-/Photocatalytic and Toxicological Effects via the Caenorhabditis elegans Model

“…In the earliest report, the wavelength of pure Ta 2 O 5 NPs was observed at 321 nm, and its band gap was found to be 3.86 eV. 13 The bandgap energy of the synthesized material was calculated using the Tauc plot given in eq 4. 28 = hv…”

“…12 Zhang et al synthesized potential candidates for photocatalytic H 2 production using core−shell heterojunction Rh−Rh 3+ -doped Ta 2 O 5 @TaON@Ta 3 N 5 by the hydrothermal method at high temperatures under an ammonia gas atmosphere. 13 Another important crisis is energy insufficiency, which has been effectively resolved by Van hydrogen from water electrochemically. Many electrocatalysts have been reported for massive oxygen production, but there are several issues such as poor kinetic reactivity and the short life span of the electrocatalyst during electrochemical performance.…”

Numerical modeling investigations of the impact of a thin p-type cocatalyst modifier on an n-type photon absorber for unbiased overall solar water splitting

“…Although multiple strategies are reported to enhance the photoelectrocatalytic performance of Ta3N5, [46][47][48][49][50][51] the construction of a heterojunction would be the most effective way. [52][53][54] For example, Ta3N5-based n-n heterojunctions have been developed by many groups. 48,[55][56][57] Recently, our group reported a guideline for the design of Ta3N5-based n-n heterojunctions.…”
