“…Substituting the transition metal ion into the SrTiO 3 lattice is a common and effective method to reduce the bandgap energy of the host material and hinder the recombination of the generated electron-hole, increasing the overall photoactivity [42]. To date, various strategies have been employed to enhance the photocatalytic activity of SrTiO 3 under visible light irradiation by doping with non-metal ions [43] and metal ions, such as Ag [44], Cu [45], Mn [33], Cr [46], Rh [47], La [48][49][50], and Cr-La [32,51,52], Ni-Er [53], and Ni-La [54]. Among the candidates for the modification of SrTiO 3 materials, lanthanum (La) has received much attention.…”
