Abstract
Photocatalytic water splitting properties of BaCeO3 were investigated experimentally and theoretically. Photocatalytic evaluation results showed that H2 and O2 evolved from aqueous solutions containing CH3OH and AgNO3 sacrificial reagents, respectively, and overall water splitting was achieved with the aid of RuO2-loading under ultraviolet light irradiation. Density function theory calculation indicated that the valence band of BaCeO3 was mainly composed of O 2p orbitals, while the conduction band was dominantly constructed by Ce 4f orbitals.
