For the first time, the surface nature and catalytic active surface sites for the supported (Rh2-yCryO3)/(Ga1-xZnx)(N1-xOx) semiconductor photocatalysts were determined and used to establish fundamental structure-photoactivity relationships that will guide the design of improved visible light activated photocatalysts.
