説明

Controlled morphological and structural variations of LaTiO2N and CoOx nanoparticles loaded as a cocatalyst increased the photocatalytic O2 evolution. Four different LaTiO2N samples were prepared from two varied La2Ti2O7 precursors by thermal ammonolysis with and without flux. The most effective transformation from La2Ti2O7 into LaTiO2N in terms of crystallinity and nitrogen contents was obtained in the following two cases: flux-assisted ammonolysis of La2Ti2O7 characterized by a comparatively small particle size and a large surface area and ammonolysis without flux of highly crystalline La2Ti2O7. In both cases, high activity for O2 evolution under visible-light illumination (λ ≥ 420 nm) (∼50 μmol h–1) was obtained. Loading LaTiO2N with CoOx enhanced the photocatalytic activity for O2 evolution, although the effect of CoOx depended on the morphologies of LaTiO2N as a support. The promotional effect was most pronounced for LaTiO2N with a skeletal morphology, because such LaTiO2N contain most unsaturated bo...
