Synthesis and Photocatalytic Study of Ferrocenium Ion Incorporated Lacunary Keggin Hybrid Material

Abstract In the present work, we report the synthesis of inorganic‐organic hybrid material of molecular formula abbreviated as TBAFcPW 11 . This hybrid material has large surface area (142 m 2 g −1 ) and shows photocatalytic activity due to the synergistic effect of photoexcitation property of polyoxometalate cluster and Fe 2+ /Fe 3+ redox pair. It is a floating hybrid photocatalytic material capable of remediating organic pollutants, rhodamine B and p‐nitrophenol. Optimum conditions for photocatalytic degradation and extent of mineralization have been established by varying the reaction conditions and mineralization studies.
