Published: August 2017

We report on free-standing TaN nanotubular membranes with open top and bottom, used as visible-light-active, flow-through photocatalytic micro-reactors. We grow first a robust anodic TaO layer, lift-off a membrane and convert to TaN. Such membranes can easily, in a flow-through mode, degrade methylene blue under visible light (wavelength >400 nm) or solar illumination.
