Structural and Photocatalytic Property of CaTiO3 Nanosphere

Article Preview

Abstract:

The nanostructured photocatalysts are the most promising materials for the degradation of toxic dyes. Particularly, CaTiO3 has been used in several applications including catalytic, optical, biological and electronic. In this present study, perovskite structured CaTiO3 nanomaterials have been synthesized by microwave irradiation method. The physico-chemical properties of the prepared CaTiO3 nanomaterials were studied by various advanced characterization techniques. The XRD patterns confirm the presence of perovskite structure of the prepared nanomaterials. FT-IR analysis confirms the presence of Ca-Ti-O vibrational bonds. Micro Raman study display the existence of O-Ca-Ti-O with B1g mode of vibrations. Morphological studies revealed the presence of truncated nanospheres. The dye degradation property of prepared CaTiO3 was investigated by Malachite green (MG) by UV-light.
