Abstract

Abstract Ion-exchangeable layered titano-niobates, CsNbTi2O7 and CsNbTiO5, were prepared and the photocatalytic properties of those oxides as well as of the H+-exchanged forms were investigated. H2 or O2 evolution reaction from an aqueous methanol solution or from an aqueous silver nitrate solution was carried out under a high pressure mercury lamp irradiation. For H2 evolution, Pt (0.1 wt%)-loaded H+-exchanged forms showed remarkable activity both for CsNbTi2O7 and CsNbTiO5, while higher rates of O2 evolution were obtained for H+-exchanged forms than those for the original forms.
