Abstract

Single-crystal NaY(MoO(4))(2) thin plates dominated by high-energy {001} facets were hydrothermally synthesized under relatively mild conditions, free of organic additives, seeds and templates. The as-obtained NaY(MoO(4))(2) thin plates showed an excellent visible-light-responding photocatalytic activity for degradation of dyes in water.
