AbstractIn situ EPR spectroscopy proved to be a versatile tool to identify active sites for photocatalytic hydrogen generation in modified Y2Ti2O7and CsTaWO6catalysts of pyrochlore structure, in which the metal cations are located in two different positions A and B. It was found that the B-sites exclusively occupied by titanium (Y2Ti2O7) and tantalum/tungsten (CsTaWO6) act as electron traps on the surface. From these sites, electron transfer to the co-catalysts proceeds. Thus, the B-sites are responsible for photocatalytic water reduction.Graphical Abstract
