Single-crystal NaY(MoO4)2 thin plates with dominant {001} facets for efficient photocatalytic degradation of dyes under visible light irradiation†
Abstract
Single-crystal NaY(MoO4)2 thin plates dominated by high-energy {001} facets were hydrothermally synthesized under relatively mild conditions, free of organic additives, seeds and templates. The as-obtained NaY(MoO4)2 thin plates showed an excellent visible-light-responding photocatalytic activity for degradation of
