Effect of oxygen vacancies induced by doping rare earth metal elements (La³⁺, Ce³⁺/⁴⁺, Nd³⁺) in NaTaO3 thin films on photocatalytic and antibacterial properties
Key Points
Enhanced photocatalytic properties were observed in NaTaO3 thin films with rare earth metal doping.
Oxygen vacancies significantly contribute to antibacterial activity, particularly with La³⁺ and Nd³⁺ additions.
Analysis involved detailed examination of NaTaO3 thin films doped with different rare earth metals.
Findings suggest that optimizing doping could improve photocatalytic efficiency and antibacterial effectiveness.
