抄録

A new series of visible-light-driven photocatalysts In12NiM2Ti10O42 (M = Al, Cr, Ga) with a pyrochlore-related layered structure were synthesized by the conventional solid-state reaction method. The substitution effects of trivalent cations M3+ on the electronic structure, photophysical and photocatalytic properties were investigated. It was found that although the three materials were all crystallized in a monoclinic symmetry with the same space group P21/a, their photocatalytic activities of H2 evolution were quite different. In comparison with In12NiAl2Ti10O42 and In12NiGa2Ti10O42, In12NiCr2Ti10O42 showed the narrowest band gap and highest activity, which could be ascribed to the formation of broadly dispersed continuous conduction and valence bands due to the involvement of partially filled Cr 3d orbitals in addition to Ni 3d orbitals. The present study suggests a promising method for developing visible-light-driven photocatalysts with tailored properties via transition-metal(s)-mediated band structure engineering.
