Photocatalytic properties of SrTiO₃ – Impact of (Co-)doping with Sc, Cr, Co, Ir and La

The optical properties of doped SrTiO3 are crucial for solar energy conversion due to their correlation with their efficacy to absorb and convert sunlight to energy. In this study, the impact of La, Co, Cr, Sc, and Ir substitutions on the structural, optical, electrical, and photocatalytic properties of SrTiO3 were investigated by a series density functional theory (DFT) calculation. Analyses primarily initially focused on the effects of doping …
