TL;DR: An advance in the catalysis of the overall splitting of water under visible light is described: the new catalyst is a solid solution of gallium and zinc nitrogen oxide, modified with nanoparticles of a mixed oxide of rhodium and chromium, which functions as a promising and efficient photocatalyst in promoting the evolution of hydrogen gas.

TL;DR: Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) with a band gap of 2.7 eV is studied as a nonmetallic photocatalyst for H2 or O2 evolution from water under ultraviolet (UV) and visible light.

TL;DR: Photoluminescence and photoelectrochemical measurements indicated that the high activity of this Z-scheme system results from the moderated n-type semiconducting character of ZrO(2)/TaON, which results in a lower probability of undesirable electron-hole recombination in Zr O(2/TaON than in TaON.

TL;DR: Herein, a proof-of-concept is shown using GaN:ZnO loaded with Rh/Cr2O3 (core/shell) and Mn3O4 NPs as H2 and O2 evolution promoters, respectively, under irradiation with visible light (l> 420 nm).

TL;DR: Mesoporous Ta2O5 was synthesized by the ligand-assisted templating method, and its stability for use as a photocatalyst was studied by X-ray diffraction, N2 adsorption isotherm analysis, and transmission electron microscopy as discussed by the authors.
