Abstract

Highly crystalline mesocrystalline BaZrO₃ hollow nanospheres offered higher photocatalytic activities. It is found that the highly crystalline sample can function as a “highway” for electron transport with less grain boundaries, resulting in better charge separation and thus photocatalytic performance.
