Transmission electron microscopy revealed quasi-spherical, well-dispersed nanoparticles with an average size of 42 nm and high crystallinity.

The influence of KIT-6 mesoporous material on the photo degradation efficiency of silver molybdate was discussed in terms of surface area, pore size, quantum confinement effects, surface defects, plasmonic effect and band gap. The scavenger test was carried out to reveal the better photo catalytic activity of the composite and it was found to be due to the key reactive species like <sup>.</sup>O<sub>2</sub><sup>−</sup> and <sup>.</sup>OH radicals and the corresponding possible charge transfer mechanism was also discussed. And the SPR effect of Ag in Ag<sub>6</sub>Mo<sub>10</sub>O<sub>33</sub> @ KIT-6 was found to be the reason for the excellent photo catalytic efficiency. Recyclability studies were carried out to investigate the reuse of the photocatalyst Ag<sub>6</sub>Mo<sub>10</sub>O<sub>33</sub> @ KIT-6 composite. The photocatalyst Ag<sub>6</sub>Mo<sub>10</sub>O<sub>33</sub> @ KIT-6 has been found to possess good recycling stability even after the 4th cycle of photo degradation with the efficiency of 78 %.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":430,"journal":{"name":"Solid State Communications","volume":"410 ","pages":"Article 116346"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146186351","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
