Abstract

Today’s exigency to furnish more sustainable energy requires materials and expedients with enhanced or even new functionalities. Harvesting solar energy using stable, cheap, and environmentally friendly materials, for solar water splitting and dye degradation, is an attractive approach. The present chapter is focused on the recently reported perovskites oxides for the photocatalytic applications such as dye degradation, CO2 reduction, and water splitting under UV or visible light irradiation. Material preparation and characterization are two essential parameters; former is to get materials with desired structure and physicochemical property, and latter gives the information of the textural structures and properties of the synthesized photocatalysts. In this regard, the present chapter provides an insight into information of preparation and photocatalytic application of selected ABO3-based photocatalysts. It opens up a new viable approach for the synthesis of highly efficient perovskite-type photocatalysts for environmental remediation and energy production. The present chapter is organized into five sections: (1) a brief introduction to photocatalysis, (2) methods to tailor the photocatalytic properties of semiconductor photocatalysts, (3) a short overview of perovskite oxides as photocatalysts, (4) recent developments in enhancing the photocatalytic activity of perovskite materials, and (5) conclusions and insights.
