Abstract

To enhance the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity and stability of barium–strontium–titanate (Ba0.7Sr0.3TiO3, BST), niobium (Nb5+) donor doped BST (Ba0.7Sr0.3Ti1−xNbxO3) photocatalysts were synthesized via a sol–gel assisted solid phase method. It was found that the introduction of Nb5+ expands the lattice and impedes grain growth. In the mechanism of enhancing photocatalytic performance, on one hand, the doped Nb5+ ions generate two types of defects in the lattice of BST, which form defect dipoles to impede electron–hole recombination and improve the stability of photocatalytic performance. On the other hand, the temperature stability test of the dielectric constant shows that appropriate doping of Nb5+ ions will enhance the stability of carrier concentration in BST, thereby exhibiting superior HER activity. In terms of band structure, experiments and Density Functional Theory (DFT) confirmed that the doping of trace amounts of Nb5+ has a very weak influence on the band structure. Additionally, the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution of 1% Nb doped Ba0.7Sr0.3TiO3 was 16.2% higher than that of Ba0.7Sr0.3TiO3.
