Alkylammonium thiostannate inorganic/organic hybrids as high-performance photocatalysts with a decoupled adsorption–photodegradation mechanism

Abstract

For traditional photocatalysts, the adsorption and successive surface reaction constitute a coupled and integrated process, owing to the limited number of catalytic active centres available.

Crystalline chalcogenidometalate-based compounds from uncommon reaction media

“…Besides the investigations of compounds from ionothermal reactions, those that were obtained from DESs have also been explored for ion-exchange applications. The analogous [Cu 1.25 GeSe 3 ] 0.75À and [Ag 1.25 SnSe 3 ] 0.75À networks were confirmed to be highly efficient Cs + exchangers in the presence of various alkali and alkaline-earth metal cations over a wide pH range (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12). 10,84 The compound based on the [Ag 1.25 SnSe 3 ] 0.75À network even features an SF Cs/Sr of B121.4.…”

“…The unique properties include strong photoluminescence, superion conduction, selective ion exchange, photocatalysis, and specific gas adsorption. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] Porous structures are of particular interest as selective ion exchange materials. [9][10][11][12] The properties of compounds based on chalcogenidometalate structures can be tailored by the building units on which they are based, whereby the pore size is the most variable parameter.…”
