Mesoporous CePrO solid solution with efficient photocatalytic activity under weak daylight irradiation

Mesoporous Pr doped CeO2 (CePrO) materials with high absorption intensity in the region of visible light was synthesized via a facile method. The photocatalysis efficiency of Rhodamine B over the prepared CePrO was much higher than those of pure mesoporous and bulk CeO2 under the irradiation of weak daylight.
