“…Metal titanates (ATiO 3 , where A: Ni, Co, Zn, Mn, Mg, Fe, Ca, Ba, Sr) have been extensively studied for photooxidation applications, due to their unique physical and chemical properties. According to the literature, ATiO 3 has been prepared by various methods such as sonochemical method [12][13][14][15], precipitation method [16], sol-gel method [17][18][19], wet chemical method [20], auto-ignited combustion method [21], through conventional solid-state reaction route [22], and through hydrothermal method [23,24]. However, polyol process [25,26]-that is followed in our work-offers a low-cost and simple way of fabricating metal titanates.…”
