Photocatalytic Activity of SrTiO3 and BaTiO3 Nanostructures, Formed by the Sol-Gel Method, in the Process of Nitrogen Dioxide Decomposition

  • Published:
Theoretical and Experimental Chemistry Aims and scope

Strontium and barium titanates with a perovskite structure have been obtained using a sol–gel method. It is shown that these materials are characterized by high values of a band gap (3.1 and 3.2 eV for SrTiO3 and BaTiO3, respectively). Morphological characteristics of the obtained titanates are considered, the presence of micrometer aggregates, consisting of nanosticks (diameter of 20-40 nm, length of 100-200 nm) and nanocrystals with size of 20-70 nm, is established. The photocatalytic properties of the samples in the process of NO2 decomposition to N2 and O2 under UV irradiation (λ = 365 nm) are studied, a possible mechanism of nitrogen dioxide conversion is discussed.
