We have examined the photocatalytic activity of Ga2O3 supported on Al2O3 (Ga2O3/Al2O3 catalyst) without a noble metal cocatalyst for water splitting and reduction CO2 with under UV light irradiation by changing loading amount Ga2O3. All prepared Ga2O3/Al2O3 catalysts show activities both reduction, their are significantly improved compared to those nonsupported Al2O3. The is dominated less than 1.0 vol % loaded, whereas higher Ga2O3-loaded samples (2.6, 4.2 %). Crystalline structure...

KTaO3 was doped with Sr cations, and its photocatalytic activity for the overall water splitting investigated. By doping Sr, a Sr-rich shell formed over Sr-poor core. Extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy revealed simultaneous occupation of K sites Ta by cations. A concentration gradient cations occupying suggested to be produced after Sr. The simultaneously induced an energy conduction band edge bottom. Hence, photoexcited electrons are separated, which driven away bulk...

Various metal oxides with 0.1 wt% Ag loaded as a cocatalyst were prepared by an impregnation method and examined their photocatalytic activity for CO 2 reduction water. Among all the Ag‐loaded oxides, Ga O 3 , ZrO Y MgO, La showed activities H productions under ultraviolet light irradiation.

To promote photocatalytic activity of gallium oxides (Ga2O3) on CO2 reduction with water under visible light irradiation, we have tried nitrogen doping into Ga2O3 different crystalline structures. In diffuse reflectance UV-vis spectra, absorption bands appeared in the region after and edge shifted to a longer wavelength increasing temperature. N K-edge XANES analysis clearly showed two kinds species doped samples; nitride (GaN) molecular like nitrogen. XRD patterns, at temperatures above 823...

Abstract We have examined photocatalytic activities of Ga2O3 supported by various metal oxides for water splitting and CO2 reduction with under UV light irradiation. The photocatalyst was prepared an impregnation method. found that some used as a supporting oxide improve reduction. In particular, the CO production rates are well correlated to properties oxide. These satisfy following three criteria significantly enhancing rate. (1) Their band gap is wider than position its conduction at...

With a view to rational designing of highly functional visible‐light TiO 2 photocatalyst, nitrogen atoms were doped into samples by an ion implantation technique which enables control the depth and concentration dopants. Although absorbance in region sample increased doping, photocatalytic activity was not directly connected with photo‐absorbance. The N K‐edge X‐ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectrum active (A‐cat) showed characteristic double peak at 398 401 eV, XANES inactive...
