Abstract: | Nanostructured Ni-doped indium–tantalum–oxides (InTaO4) were synthesized by a reactive pulsed laser ablation process, aiming at the final goal of direct splitting of water under visible sunbeam irradiation. The third harmonics beam of a Nd:YAG laser was focused onto a sintered In0.9Ni0.1TaO4−δ target in pure oxygen background gases (0.05–1.00 Torr). Increasing the oxygen gas pressure, via thin films having nanometer-sized strong morphologies, single-crystalline nanoparticles were synthesized in the reactive vapor phases. The nanostructured deposited materials have the monoclinic layered wolframite-type structure of bulk InTaO4, without oxygen deficiency. |
