Abstract

We report a robust and highly active photocatalyst for the C₃H₆ evolution reaction that is constructed by surfactant-free growth of oxygen vacancy-rich MoO_3−x ultrathin nanobelts. Under visible-light irradiation, the new catalyst can selectively (95% selectivity) dehydrate isopropyl alcohol into C₃H₆ with yields above 98%.
