- Abstract
The Ag-KNbO nanocomposites are synthesized by a two-step method where the octahedral KNbO is initially prepared by solvothermal reaction and then the Ag particles are anchored onto the surface of KNbO through the photoreduction of AgNO. The XRD, SEM, TEM, XPS, DRS are applied to characterize the structure, morphology and optical properties, which confirm that the Ag particles are successfully deposited on the surface of KNbO. Compared with the pure KNbO, the Ag modified KNbO catalysts show an obvious enhancement catalysis under UV-Vis light, because that could efficiently promote the light absorption and the separation of photoelectrons and holes.
