In-situ photodeposition of trace amounts of chromates was found effective in achieving high selectivity toward CO evolution over ZnTa2O6for the photocatalytic conversion of CO2by H2O. Photodeposited Cr(OH)3produced CO at 6.3 μmol h−1with a selectivity of 80 %, while bare ZnTa2O6shows a predominant activity in H2production (22.0 μmol h−1H2vs. 1.2 μmol h−1CO) with 0.1 g photocatalyst. ZnTa2O6, synthesized via a solid-state reaction method, contained two types of surfaces with stoichiometric and Zn-excessive Zn:Ta ratios, respectively. The stoichiometric surfaces were responsible for overall water splitting. By in-situ photodeposition of trace chromates during the reaction, the active sites of the synthesized ZnTa2O6shifted from the stoichiometric to the Zn-excessive surfaces and Cr(OH)3-modified Zn-excessive surfaces were found to evolve CO as the main product.
