A solid solution photocatalyst, Na1–xLaxFe1–xTaxO3 (x up to 0.06), was prepared by the conventional solid-state method. The photophysical properties of the samples were studied by various experimental techniques and the electronic structures were investigated by using screened hybrid density functio...
