Porous Hybrid Photocatalysts Based on Polyoxometalates

This paper reviews a series of new and water-tolerant porous POM-containing hybrid photocatalysts with different pore sizes. These materials were prepared by soft chemical synthesis techniques including sol-gel chemistry, intercalation chemistry, colloidal crystal templating, cluster chemistry, and hydrothermal process. We also report the heterogeneous photocatalytic behaviors of these as-prepared materials, including activity, kinetics, and reaction mechanism.
