Double-shelled hollow rods assembled from nitrogen/sulfur-codoped carbon coated indium oxide nanoparticles as excellent photocatalysts.

ABSTRACT: Excellent catalytic activity, high stability and easy recovery are three key elements for fabricating efficient photocatalysts, while developing a simple method to fabricate such photocatalysts with these three features at the same time is highly challenging. In this study, we successfully synthesized double-shelled hollow rods (DHR) assembled by nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S)-codoped carbon coated indium(III) oxide (In₂O₃) ultra-small nanoparticles (N,S-C/In₂O₃ DHR). N,S-C/In₂O₃ DHR exhibits remarkable photocatalytic activity, high stability and easy recovery for oxidative hydroxylation reaction of arylboronic acid substrates. The catalyst recovery and surface area were well balanced through improved light harvesting, contribu
