Abstract

The present study deals with the preparation of tetragonal barium titanate (BaTiO3) by hydrothermal technique and its use in the photocatalytic degradation of salicylic acid. The structural, morphological, and photocatalytic properties of the BaTiO3 nanoparticles are studied. The prepared samples are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) spectroscopy. The end result shows that the degradation percentage of salicylic acid using BaTiO3 photocatalyst has reached 51% under ultraviolet light illumination after 120 min. The amount of degradation is confirmed by COD analysis.
