A wide visible-light-responsive tunneled MgTa₂O(6-x)N(x) photocatalyst for water oxidation and reduction

Chem Commun (Camb). 2014 Nov 28;50(92):14415-7. doi: 10.1039/c4cc06682k.

Abstract

We demonstrate for the first time that a nitrogen-doped tunneled oxide MgTa2O(6-x)N(x) with an absorption edge of ca. 570 nm can drive both water oxidation and reduction half reactions in the presence of scavengers under visible light irradiation, showing great potential in solar water splitting.
