The supported mixed oxide (Rh2–y Cr y O3)/(Ga1–x Zn x )­(N1–x O x ) photocatalyst, highly active for splitting of H2O, was extensively characterized for its bulk and surface properties with the objective of developing fundamental structure–photoactivity relationships. Raman and UV–vis spectroscopy r...
