摘要	Constituting solid solutions has been an appealing means to gain control over various physicochemical properties. In this work, we synthesized a series of SrTiO3-BiFeO3 solid solutions and systematically explored their structural, optical and photocatalytic properties. Our results show that all solid solutions crystallize in a primitive cubic structure and their band gap values can be"easily tuned by adjusting molar ratios between SrTiO3 and BiFeO3. Photocatalytic hydrogen production under both full range and visible light irradiation is greatly improved after forming solid solutions. The highest hydrogen production rate obtained is 180 mol/h under full range irradiation (lambda >= 250 nm) and 4.2 p.molih under visible light irradiation (lambda >= 400 nm), corresponding to apparent quantum efficiency 2.28% and 0.10%, respectively. The activity is found to be strongly influenced by surface area and light absorption. Theoretical calculation suggests that Fe contributes to the formation of spin-polarized bands in the middle of original band gap and is responsible for the band gap reduction and visible light photocatalytic activity.
