The perovskite oxynitride SrTaO2N is a promising compound for solar energy conversion because it has strong visible light absorption at wavelengths as long as 650 nm. However, the photocatalytic activity of SrTaO2N is generally very poor. We managed to improve its activity by incorporating Sr in its B site.

Monophasic orthorhombic InVO4 was synthesized using InCl3 and NH4VO3 as starting materials by a hydrothermal approach. The as-prepared InVO4 product was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). It was found that the as-prepared InVO4 shows strong visible-light absorption with absorption onset of 515 nm, indicating a narrow optical band gap of 2.4 eV. Furthermore, the as-prepared InVO4 shows high visible-light photocatalytic activity for decomposition of methyl orange, which is ascribed to the strong visible-light absorption.
