Water reduction and oxidation on Pt-Ru/Y2Ta2O5N2 catalyst under visible light irradiation.
Y(2)Ta(2)O(5)N(2) is presented as a novel photocatalyst with high activity for water splitting under visible-light irradiation in the presence of appropriate sacrificial reagents; the activity for reduction to H(2) is increased by the incorporation of Pt or Ru as a co-catalyst, with a significant increase in production efficiency when both Pt and Ru are present.
