Effect of the magnetic core of (MnFe)2O3@Ta2O5 nanoparticles on photocatalytic hydrogen production
Abstract
The combination of the pre-formed magnetic (Mn0.983Fe0.017)2O3 particles with Ta2O5 prepared from ionic liquids affords (MnFe)2O3@Ta2O5 core–shell composites. The photocatalytic activities of these core–shell materials were evaluated for hydrogen production, for which they appeared to be superior catalysts to the individual (Mn0.983Fe0.017)2O3 and Ta2O5 components.
