Abstract

Heterogeneous photocatalysis is of great interest for environmental remediation applications. However, fast recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pair and a low utilization rate of sunlight hinder the commercialization of currently available semiconductor photocatalysts. In this regard, we developed a unique ternary single core-double shell heterostructure that consists of α-Fe2O3
