Effect of Bismuth Dopant on the Photocatalytic Properties of SrTiO3 Under Solar Irradiation

“…Au@STO and STO:Fe could produce a maximum degradation percentage of 65-85% for these dyes after 6-8 under solar irradiation [26,27]. MB dye has been degraded using several STO based compounds such as STO:Cu [7], STO:Cr [7], and STO:V [28] but only low degradation percentages of 65-85% were obtained after 2-3 h under visible light irradiation. The use of polyaniline/STO nanocomposite [29] for the degradation of MB has been explored and a maximum degradation of 97% was obtained after 2 h of exposure with visible light.…”

Rhodium doping augments photocatalytic activity of barium titanate: effect of electronic structure engineering

“…[7][8][9][10] It is well known that SrTiO 3 , a perovskite material, has been extensively studied for photocatalysis in degradation of methylene blue (MB) dye by tuning its band gap via doping, but only a few reports exist on BaTiO 3 . [11][12][13][14][15] BaTiO 3 is a versatile material with a highly tunable crystal and electronic structure and has the potential of being a multifunctional material. 5,10,16,17 For a material to show enhanced photocatalytic properties it must have a band gap small enough to absorb visible radiation and generate electronhole pairs, and the photogenerated charge carriers must have sufficient separation to prevent their recombination.…”

“…31,32 Although doping is a promising choice to reduce the band gap, in certain cases it may lead to the formation of acceptor levels leading to the recombination of charge carriers and hence poor efficiency. 12,33 Therefore, we need to keep in mind that in addition to being stable, nontoxic and having an appropriate band gap, the recombination rate should be low with an increase in the lifetime of charge carriers for a material to be an ideal photocatalyst. 18 Recently, we reported Rh to be an ideal dopant in SrTiO 3 for photocatalytic degradation of MB and thermoelectric application and found that the site occupancy of the material plays a major role in the performance of the material.…”
