Abstract
CaTi1-xFexO3 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.4) solid solution photocatalysts were synthesized by iron doping during the conventional solid state reaction at 1100 °C for 5 h and characterized by ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) absorption spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, morphological analysis. We found that CaTi1-xFexO 3 samples not only absorb UV but also the visible light photons. This is because the Fe substitution at Ti-site in CaTi1-xFe xO3 lattice induces the band transition from Fe3d to the Fe3d + Ti3d hybrid orbital. The photocatalytic activity of Fe doped CaTiO 3 samples for hydrogen production under UV light irradiation decreased with the increase in the Fe concentration. There exists an optimized concentration of iron in CaTiO3, which yields a maximum photocatalytic activity under visible light (λ ≥ 420 nm) photons.
