Synthesis and Photocatalytic Properties of a New Heteropolyoxoniobate Compound: K10[Nb2O2(H2O)2][SiNb12O40]·12H2O

Abstract: The synthesis and photocatalytic properties of a heteropolyoxoniobate, K(10)[Nb(2)O(2)(H(2)O)(2)][SiNb(12)O(40)]·12H(2)O (1), are reported, revealing an important role of Zr(4+) additives in the crystallization. Compound 1 exhibits overall photocatalytic water splitting activity, and its photocatalytic activity is significantly higher than that of Na(10)[Nb(2)O(2)][SiNb(12)O(40)]·xH(2)O (2). Fluorescence lifetime measurements suggest that the enhanced photocatalytic activity of 1 likely results from a larger y… Show more

[16] Many of these are composed of polyanions linked into framework-like layers or chains through corner-(H) or edge-sharing of Ti=O and Nb=O caps (A, D, and F). Even those clusters that are considered to be isolated in the crystalline lattice, separated only by water molecules and alkali-metal counterions (C, E, and G), are insoluble, and thus neither solution characterizations nor solution stabilities were documented.…”

“…Generally, the metalorganic macrocycle possesses positive charge, and thus it needs a counteranion to keep charge balance. Polyoxometalates (POMs), a unique class of anionic clusters, can be used not only as counteranions but also as templates that are conducive to the formation of macrocyclic compounds [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. Furthermore, such POM-based macrocyclic compounds could combine the advantages of both the POMs and the macrocycles and open up new possibilities in the pursuit of multifunctional materials with designed functional properties and aesthetic topological structures [6,8,19].…”

“…[1][2][3] As important as the tailoring of well-known photocatalysts, such as TiO 2 , for high photocatalytic efficiency [4][5][6][7] is the investigation of unknown semiconductor photocatalysts. [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] So far, hundreds of photocatalysts have been examined, most of which have been compounds. [3,17,18] Recently, elemental semiconductors (Si, Se, P, S) have emerged as an attractive class of photocatalysts owing to their visible-light response and suitable band edges for targeted photocatalysis reactions.…”
