A new solid niobic acid phase, H-2(H2O)Nb2O6, with fluorine (F) doping was crystallized using hydrothermal chemistry. F-doped H-2(H2O)Nb2O6 octahedra could function as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the photodegradation of organic pollutants in water under UV light irradiation. The high photocatalytic activity of the F-doped H-2(H2O)Nb2O6 materials is attributed to a synergistic effect of the specific surface area, the surface characteristics and the crystal structure. Our results suggest novel ways of controlling the crystallization of niobium oxides, further the fundamental understanding of their structure-property relationships, and may lead to their application in fields such as environmental protection and energy production.
