Cocatalyst loaded Al-SrTiO₃ cubes for Congo red dye photo-degradation under wide range of light.

ABSTRACT: The continued pollution, waste, and unequal distribution of the limited amount of fresh water on earth are pushing the world into water scarcity crisis. Consequently, development of revolutionary, cost-effective, and efficient techniques for water purification is essential. Herein, molten flux method was used for the preparation of micro-sized Al-doped SrTiO₃ photocatalyst loaded with RhCr₂O₃ and CoOOH cocatalysts via simple impregnation method for the photo-assisted degradation of Congo red dye under UV and visible irradiation compared with P25 standard photocatalyst. In addition, photoelectrochemical analysis was conducted to reveal the separation and transfer efficiency of the photogenerated e^-/h⁺ pairs playing the key role in photo
