The microwave-irradiated calcination of HfOCl2/starch complex I under an air atmosphere produced the HfO2/carbon cluster composite material which is denoted as Ic. The obtained composite material could decompose methylene blue under the irradiation of light (λ > 460 nm). The surface of Ic was loa...
