Abstract
The Sr1-xLaxTi1-xCrxO3 (x = 0–0.05) nanofibers were synthesized by electrospinning based on Pechini sol-gel method. The prepared Sr1-xLaxTi1-xCrxO3 nanofibers were analyzed by XRD, Raman, UV–vis spectra, XPS, SEM, TEM, transient photocurrent, electrochemical impedance and photocatalytic hydrogen evolution tests. The results showed that CrLa co-doped can expand the light absorption region of SrTiO3 from the ultraviolet region to the visible light, and significantly narrowed its band gap. Under visible light irradiation, Sr1-xLaxTi1-xCrxO3 nanofibers exhibited the best hydrogen evolution activity at x = 0.03, and the hydrogen evolution rate reached 106.2 μmol∙g−1∙h−1. This may be the result of the combined effect of the intermediate band gap and the band gap variation due to Cr doping.
