Synthesis and Structure of the Double-Layered Sillen-Aurivillius Perovskite Oxychloride La_2.1Bi_2.9Ti₂O₁₁Cl as a Potential Photocatalyst for Stable Visible Light Solar Water Splitting.

ABSTRACT: Exploring photocatalysts for solar water splitting is a relevant step toward sustainable hydrogen production. Sillén-Aurivillius-type compounds have proven to be a promising material class for photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical water splitting with the advantage of visible light activity coupled to enhanced stability because of their unique electronic structure. Especially, double- and multilayered Sillén-Aurivillius compounds [A_n-1B_nO_3n+1][Bi₂O₂]₂X_m, with A and B being cations and X a halogen anion, offer a great variety in material composition and properties. Yet, research in this field is limited to only a few compounds, all of them containing mainly Ta⁵⁺ or Nb⁵⁺
