Abstract: | N-doped In2Ga2ZnO7 photocatalysts were fabricated by solid state reaction route. All the prepared photocatalysts were successfully characterised by PXRD, optical absorption spectra, SEM, TEM, XPS, BET surface area and photoresponse studies. The formation of In2Ga2ZnO7 was confirmed by the PXRD pattern. Optical absorption spectra showed that the visible light absorption of all the photocatalysts were enhanced by nitrogen doping. Among all the prepared photocatalysts, 1 wt% Pt loaded N-GaInZn-500 showed enhanced photocatalytic activity towards hydrogen evolution under visible light irradiation in presence of 10 vol% methanol solution as sacrificial agent. The excellent photocatalytic activity of N-GaInZn-500 is in agreement with N-content, bandgap energy, PL intensity and Surface area. |
