Ionothermal synthesis of a photoelectroactive titanophosphite with a three-dimensional open-framework†
Abstract
A novel three-dimensional open-framework titanophosphite Ti(HPO3)2 (denoted as JIS-15) has been ionothermally synthesized. JIS-15 possesses photovoltaic properties as an n-type semiconductor and exhibits remarkable photocatalytic activity for the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) under visible light irradiation.
