Abstract:Complex oxides can present interesting semiconductor properties since the simultaneous presence of different metallic cations can modulate the conduction and valence band edges, affecting the bandgap energy, the onset potential for reactions and also the photocatalyst long-term stability. Here, we demonstrated that the synthesis of multinary oxides, very challenging using “traditional” methodologies, can be fast achieved by melting the precursor binary oxides in an arc furnace. As a proof of concept, arc-melti… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
