Pt-based catalysts are commonly employed as NO-trapping catalysts for automobiles, while perovskite oxides have received attention as Pt-free NO-trapping catalysts. However, the NO storage performance of perovskite catalysts is significantly inferior at low temperatures and with coexisting gases such as HO, CO, and SO. This study demonstrates that NO storage reactions proceed over redox site (Mn, Fe, and Co)-doped SrTiO perovskites. Among the examined catalysts, Mn-doped SrTiO exhibited the highest NO storage capacity (NSC) and showed a high NSC even at a low temperature of 323 K. Moreover, the high NO storage performance of Mn-doped SrTiO was retained in the presence of poisoning gases (HO, CO, and SO). NO oxidation experiments revealed that the NSC of Co-doped SrTiO was dependent on the NO oxidation activity from NO to NO via lattice oxygen, which resulted in an inferior NSC at low temperatures. On the other hand, Mn-doped SrTiO successfully adsorbed NO molecules onto its surface at 323 K without the NO oxidation process using lattice oxygens. This unique adsorption behavior of Mn-doped SrTiO was concluded to be responsible for the high NSC in the presence of poisoning gases.

Strontium titanate (STO), a cubic perovskite material, has gained recent attention as a supercapacitor active material with its pseudocapacitive energy storage attributed to anion intercalation. However, very few in-depth studies have been conducted to understand the anion storage properties of STO and its metal-doped derivative compounds. In this study, we explored the anion-insertion storage mechanism of Mn-doped strontium titanate (Mn-STO) compared to pristine STO.

An environmental catalyst in which a transition metal (Mn, Fe, or Co) was substituted into the Ti site of the host material, SrTiO, was synthesized, and the reactivity of lattice oxygen was evaluated. For CO oxidation, Mn- and Co-doped SrTiO catalysts, which provided high thermal stabilities, exhibited higher activities than Pt/AlO catalysts despite their low surface areas. Temperature-programmed reduction experiments using X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) measurements showed that the lattice oxygen of Co-doped catalyst was released at the lowest temperature.

Strontium titanate SrTiO (STO) is a canonical example of a quantum paraelectric, and its doping with manganese ions unlocks its potential as a quantum multiferroic candidate. However, to date, the specifics of incorporation of the manganese ion into the perovskite lattice and its impact on structure-property relationships are debatable questions. Herein, using high-precision X-ray diffraction of a Mn (2 atom %)-doped STO single crystal, clear fingerprints of the displacement disorder of Mn cations in the perovskite B-sublattice are observed.

With carbon fiber, it is difficult to load semiconductor photocatalysts and easy to shed off thanks to its smooth surface and few active groups, which has always been a problem in the synthesis of photocatalysts. In the study, SrTiO nanoparticles were loaded onto the Tencel fibers using the solvothermal method, and then the Tencel fibers were carbonized at a high temperature under the condition of inert gas to form carbon fibers, thus SrTiO@CF photocatalytic composite materials with solid core shell structure were prepared. Meanwhile, Mn ions were added into the SrTiO precursor reagent in the solvothermal experiment to prepare Mn-doped Mn-SrTiO@CF photocatalytic composite material.

The rich chemistry of the SrTiO is often modified, intentionally or unintentionally, through the inclusion of defects and dopants. Much computational effort using periodic boundary DFT has been dedicated towards understanding how these observed properties arise from the disordered perovskite structure, but the range of possible defect chemistries arising from different computational modeling choices has not been thoroughly explored. In this study, we calculate the geometric and electronic properties for a systematic range of supercells, from approximately 40 atoms to approximately 320 atoms, with each atomic vacancy and doped with Mn ions to isolate the contribution of supercell size to predicted properties.
