Titanate Perovskite-Based Hybrid Materials for Photocatalytic Applications
摘要
Titanate perovskites (ATiO3) are one of the leading photoactive materials. The titanate perovskites such as SrTiO3, BaTiO3, CuTiO3, MgTiO3, MnTiO3, ZnTiO3, PbTiO3, CoTiO3, NiTiO3, FeTiO3, CdTiO3, etc. have drawn a great deal of interest of the research community because of two reasons; included exceptional photostability behavior and resistance to corrosion in aqua medium as well as withhold appropriate energy band potential so as to meet a particular photocatalytic redox reactions requirement. The diversified synthesis methods, tunable optical characteristics, strong photo-corrosion stability are two important physiochemical features of the UV–Vis light active ATiO3. This chapter includes, the diverse synthesis methods, Physio-chemical characterizations and diverse photocatalytic uses of UV and Vis light active ATiO3. Additionally, different strategic architecture has been studied with regard to several photocatalytic applications, includes vacancy defects, doping, Schottky junctions, and heterojunction charge dynamic. In addition, this study gives a brief summary of the many modified titanate perovskites hybrids that are UV and visible light active as well as their corresponding morphologies. This chapter’s objective is to outline recent discoveries and advancements in UV–Vis light active ATiO3.
