We synthesized Sr0.7La0.2[ ]0.1Bi2Ta2O9 (SBTL , [ ] vacancy), and measured their photocatalytic activity for water decomposition under UV light irradiation after acid treatment. They showed the high photocatalytic activity under UV light irradiation (H2 evolution (213μmol / h) , O2 evolution (82μmol / h)).

Lanthanide tantalite LnTaO4 (Ln= La, Nd, Sm, Dy, Er and Tm) was synthesized by a solid state reaction between mixed powders of Ln2O3 (Ln=La, Nd, Sm, Dy, Er and Tm) and Ta2O5. The single-phase LnTaO4 was prepared by sintering at temperatures of 1423-1673 K in air. The SEM observation showed that the particles were provided with the growth steps and the depeloped facets. The photocatalytic activity for water splitting of LnTaO4 prepared was measured under UV light irradiation. The activity obtained was higher than that previously reported. These results suggested the crystallinity of LnTaO4 photocatalysts correlates closely with the efficiency of water splitting.

Development photoinduced photocatalysts is a significant approach to improve photocatalytic activity and stability. Herein, we successfully prepared Zn[Formula: see text]Cd[Formula: see text]S/CeO2 composites by a facile method. It is found that the Zn[Formula: see text]Cd[Formula: see text]S/CeO2 composites show significant enhancement in photocatalytic activity for methyl orange (MO) degradation under visible and UV light irradiation. The degradation efficiency reaches up to 3.7 times higher than that of pure CeO2 under visible light irradiation. Moreover, the Zn[Formula: see text]Cd[Formula: see text]S/CeO2 samples have almost no loss of photocatalytic activity after five recycles, indicating good photocatalytic stability of the samples. The attractive photocatalytic activity of the Zn[Formula: see text]Cd[Formula: see text]S/CeO2 samples could be attributed to the robust charge carriers transfer and separation.
