Facet-dependent spatial charge separation in metals-doped SrTiO3 photocatalyst with visible light utilization
Abstract
Visible-light-responsive Rh/Sb co-doped SrTiO3 with engineered {100}/{110} facets (STO:RS(NaCl)) was synthesized via flux-assisted crystallization. Facet-dependent spatial charge separation, driven by work function differences, enabled electrons and holes to migrate to respective facets. This configuration tripled photocatalytic hydrogen evolution versus non-faceted STO:RS(w/o), overcoming the limitations of ultraviolet-only absorption and inefficient charge separation.
