Highly mesoporous CsTaWO₆via hard-templating for photocatalytic hydrogen production

Abstract

Mesoporous CsTaWO6 for photocatalytic hydrogen production has been prepared via hard-templating with a surface area of up to 115 m2 g−1.

Recent progress of tungsten- and molybdenum-based semiconductor materials for solar-hydrogen production

“…12c, the light absorption edge can be greatly expanded to ~ 600 nm. In addition, the photocatalytic activity of CsTaWO 6 can be improved by delicately tuning the nanostructure [225][226][227]. Therefore, the proper doping and nanostructure engineering may synergistically boost the photocatalytic activity of CsTaWO 6 .…”

Effects of Periodic Pore Ordering on Photocatalytic Hydrogen Generation with Mesoporous Semiconductor Oxides

“…[15] Hard-templating approaches for CsTaWO 6 led to the same conclusion. [16] Motivated by these findings, we showed earlier that the triblock terpolymer poly (isoprene-b-styrene-b-ethylene oxide) (PI-b-PS-b-PEO; ISO) can be used for the preparation of a phase-pure and 3D cocontinuous periodically ordered mesoporous quaternary CsTaWO 6 semiconductor for photocatalytic hydrogen generation with cubic alternating gyroid morphology. [17] Aiming for an experimental study on the impact of periodic mesopore order on photocatalytic performance, here we demonstrate improved synthesis control of this interesting semiconductor.…”
