Synthesis, characterization, photocatalytic and conductivity studies of defect pyrochlore KM0.33Te1.67O6 (M=Al, Cr and Fe)

- New defect pyrochlores, KM0.33Te1.67O6 (M = Al, Cr and Fe), are prepared.
- Structural, morphological and optical properties of these materials were studied.
- Methylene blue degradation is studied in the presence of these catalysts.
- The variation of conductivity with temperature follows the Arrhenius equation.
