title: A facile in situ hydrothermal method to SrTiO3/TiO2 nanofiber heterostructures with high photocatalytic activity.
abstract: Heterostructured SrTiO3/TiO2 nanofibers were fabricated by in situ hydrothermal method using TiO2 nanofibers as both template and reactant. The as-fabricated heterostructures composite included SrTiO3 nanocubes or nanoparticles assembled uniformly on the surface of TiO2 nanofibers. Compared with the pure TiO2 nanofibers, SrTiO3/TiO2 nanofibers exhibited enhanced photocatalytic activity in the decomposition of Rhodamine B (RB) under ultraviolet light. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of SrTiO3/TiO2 nanofibers could be attributed to the improvement of charge separation derived from the coupling effect of TiO2 and SrTiO3 nanocomposite.
