Catalysis Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

A nanocasting method using SBA-15 as a hard template was adopted to prepare nanocrystalline NaNbO3. The templated NaNbO3 consists of single crystalline nanoparticles about 8 nm. The nanocrystalline NaNbO3 sample showed remarkably enhanced photocatalytic activity for 2-propanol photodegradation in comparison to the counterpart prepared by the solid state reaction.
