Ta₃N₅@Ta₂O₅ nano-photocatalysts with shell-core heterojunction structure were successfully synthesized by a high-temperature ammonolysis of Ta₂O₅ nano-powders prepared by a hydrothermal method. Effects of nitridation temperature and nitridation time on surface composition, crystal plane structure, energy band structure, and carrier separation efficiency of the samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), N₂ adsorption-desorption test, UV-Vis diffused reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), and electrochemical measurements. Under the condition of ammonia flowing rate of 50 mL·min^-1 and nitriding temperature of 750℃, the bandgap structure of Ta₂O₅ samples could be controlled effectively between 3.86~2.08 eV, through transforming the phases from Ta₂O₅ to TaON@Ta₂O₅, and to Ta₃N₅@Ta₂O₅. When the nitriding temperature was elevated from 750 to 900℃, the bandgap energy of Ta₃N₅@Ta₂O₅ was further narrowed to be about 2.04 eV by 3 h nitridation. When the nitridation time was prolonged to 12 h, Ta₂O₅ was completely transformed into Ta₃N₅, of which the bandgap energy was further narrowed to 2.02 eV, by nitriding at 850℃. After nitriding at 850℃ for 3 h, the crystal plane of Ta₃N₅ shell gradually changed to the (110), and the sample possessed the highest carrier separation efficiency, on which optical H₂ evolution rate reaches 21.75 μmol·g^-1·h^-1 under visible light (λ>420 nm) irradiation.
