Two-step reactive template route to a mesoporous ZnGaNO solid solution for improved photocatalytic performance†
Abstract
A mesoporous ZnGaNO photocatalyst was synthesized by nitriding the mesoporous nanocrystalline ZnGa2O4 oxide precursor at a low temperature of 680 °C. The as-prepared ZnGaNO photocatalyst exhibits an improved photocatalytic activity in photodegrading IPA due to strong gas absorption by the mesostructure and extended light absorption by the high Zn content.
