Hydration behavior of A′Ca2Ta3O10 (A′ = Cs, Rb, K, Na, and Li) was studied focusing on the photocatalytic activity for overall water splitting under UV-irradiation. Interlayer hydration was only observed for A′ = Na and Li, which possess a large enthalpy of hydration (ΔHh°). A Na phase readily yielded a stable hydrous phase even at ambient temperature, whereas a Li phase required hydrothermal treatment at ≥160 °C. This is consistent with the fact that the Na phase kept its space group (I4⁄mmm) unchanged during hydration, whereas the Li phase changed from I4⁄mmm to P4⁄mmm. Hydration of the Li phase doubled the rate of photocatalytic gas evolution (≥700 μmol-H2 h−1) in the presence of 0.5 wt % Ni load, which was the highest in the series of A′Ca2Ta3O10. It was demonstrated that the hydrated interlayer is an efficient structural modification to enhance the photocatalytic activity of the ion-exchangeable layered perovskite-type oxides.
