A series of Sr-Zr-Ti (SZT) mixed oxide catalysts were prepared by a fractional-precipitation method. These photocatalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and ultraviolet visible (UV-Vis) diffuse reflectance absorption spectra. Photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue was investigated to determine the photoactivity of the catalyst. It was shown that with a Zr/Ti ratio1, the SZT mixed oxide catalysts showed improved photocatalytic activity. This was attributed to lattice defects creating active photocatalytic sites because of Zr 4+ doping. For Zr/Ti ratios≥1, the catalysts showed markedly improved photocatalytic activity because of new crystalline phases of SrZrO 3 and Ti n O 2n-1 (n=4, 9) that facilitated splitting and conduction for electron/hole. Typical SZT samples (Zr/Ti=4) showed the highest photocatalytic activity, with first-order reaction rate constant 13.5 times that of a SrTiO 3 sample.
