Correlation between Multiple Growth Stages and Photocatalysis of SrTiO3Nanocrystals
Source abstract
Abstract
The relationship between growth kinetic and photocatalysis of SrTiO 3 nanoparticles is investigated by close correlation of their growth behaviors under the different stages. The detailed structural characterizations show that SrTiO 3 crystal growth does not follow the classic route. A new growth mechanism, including the first formation of SrTiO 3 mesoporous sphere followed by the single crystal growth via oriented attachment, size shrinking, and Ostwald ripening, is proposed. The photocatalytic ability of the as-grown SrTiO 3 products at different growth stages, checked by the degradation of methyl orange, shows different properties. The results indicate that the size, morphology, and defects of the resultant SrTiO 3 products, tailored during the different growth stages, were highly responsible for the photocatalytic activity. Especially, the semicrystalline SrTiO 3 mesoporous spheres produced by oriented attachment at the initial stage show the highest photocatalytic ability.
