Article Synopsis
  • Barium titanate photocatalysts were created using a low-cost sol-gel method with a specific calcination technique involving rapid heating; they were analyzed using several characterization techniques.
  • The photocatalysts demonstrated low photooxidation activity for degrading pollutants like phenol and chlorophenol but exhibited high photoreduction activity for CO conversion, outperforming commercial references.
  • The unique calcination method proved to be 29.5% more cost-effective than traditional techniques and allowed for a larger yield of barium titanate with the same energy input.
