Nonaqueous Sol-Gel Synthesis of a Nanocrystalline InNbO4 Visible-Light Photocatalyst

Nonaqueous Sol-Gel Synthesis of a Nanocrystalline InNbO4 Visible-Light Photocatalyst

InNbO4 nanoparticles characterized by high crystallinity and particle sizes in the range of 10–30 nm (see TEM image) are synthesized by a soft‐chemistry route involving the solvothermal reaction of indium acetylacetonate and niobium chloride in benzyl alcohol at 200 °C. The as‐synthesized nanopowder...

Zusammenfassung:InNbO4 nanoparticles characterized by high crystallinity and particle sizes in the range of 10–30 nm (see TEM image) are synthesized by a soft‐chemistry route involving the solvothermal reaction of indium acetylacetonate and niobium chloride in benzyl alcohol at 200 °C. The as‐synthesized nanopowders offer a high photocatalytic activity under illumination with visible light.
