Overview

Randomized trial demonstrates enhanced stability and activity of TaON nanocrystals in photocatalysis, suggesting new applications.

Key Points

  • This research aims to synthesize stable and dispersible TaON nanocrystals to improve photocatalytic efficiency and application.
  • Utilized mechanochemical methods for synthesizing TaON nanocrystals via pre- and postnitridation ball milling
  • Characterized nanocrystals for particle size and suspension stability
  • Evaluated photocatalytic activity and stability under neutral and acidic conditions
  • TaON nanocrystals were produced with sizes under 20 nm, enhancing suspension stability compared to bulk forms
  • Photocatalytic activity was similar between nanocrystals and bulk TaON, demonstrating effective performance
  • Electrodes modified with TaON nanocrystals reduced cathodic peak potentials by over 0.8 V for CO2 electroreduction
