Sodium tantalate (NaTaO3) is studied intensively for its high photocatalytic activity. However, NaTaO3 photocatalysts work under ultraviolet (UV) light. Since visible light accounts for more than 40% of solar energy, visible-light-driven photocatalysts have attracted more attention in recent years....
