Abstract

SrTiO3 nanofibers were fabricated by an electrospinning process. The phase, microstructure and photocatalytic activity of the obtained SrTiO3 nanofibers were investigated. The XRD patterns and the SEM images suggest that SrTiO3 nanofibers with perovskite phase and rough surface have been fabricated in the current work. The SrTiO3 nanofibers show a high efficiency decomposition of RhB under ultraviolet light irradiation. The high photocatalytic activity of SrTiO3 nanofibers results from the large specific surface area. The large specific surface area provides more surface active sits and makes an easier charge carrier transport. On the basis of the photocatalytic performance of SrTiO3 nanofibers, the possible photocatalysis mechanism was proposed.
