Electronic structure and photocatalytic characterization of a novel photocatalyst AgAl[O.sub.2]
Article Abstract:
A novel photocatalyst, AgAl[O.sub.2] was prepared by cation exchange reaction and characterized by powder X-ray diffraction. The result showed that AgAl[O.sub.2] crystallizes in the layered orthorhombic structure with space group Pna[2.sub.1] and it was demonstrated that the energy band analysis combining with the crystal structure analysis is a feasible approach to develop new photocatalysts which could exhibit photocatalytic activity under visible light.

Possible role of lattice dynamics in the photocatalytic activity of BaM(sub 1/3)N(sub 2/3)O3 (M=Ni, Zn; N=Nb, Ta)
Article Abstract:
Net photocatalysts BaNi(sub 1/3)M(sub 2/3))3 (M=Nb, Ta and BaZn(sub 1/3)M(sub 2/3)O3 (M=Nb, Ta) with the ABO3 perovskite structure were synthesized by the solid-state reaction method. They were characterized by x-ray diffraction, UV-vis reflection spectroscopy.
