Electrospun Porous Ta3N5 Nanorods with Enhanced Visible Light Photocatalytic Activity

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study, porous Ta3N5 nanorods were sucessfully fabricated via electrospinning-calcination-nitridation method. The porous Ta3N5 nanorods are composed of Ta3N5 nanoparticles with diameters ranging from 30 nm to 80 nm. The porous Ta3N5 nanorods show significantly enhanced photocatalytic activity for the degradation of Methyl blue (MB) under visible light than commercial Ta3N5. Importantly, The porous Ta3N5 nanorods can be used as an easily recyclable photocatalyst with wide visible-light response.
