Cr-doped SrTi{sub 1-} {sub x} Cr {sub x} O{sub 3} (x=0.00, 0.02, 0.05, 0.10) powders, prepared by solvothermal method, were further characterized by ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) absorption spectroscopy. The UV-vis spectra indicate that the SrTi{sub 1-} {sub x} Cr {sub x} O{sub 3} powders can absorb not only UV light like pure SrTiO{sub 3} powder but also the visible-light spectrum ({lambda}>420 nm). The results of density functional theory (DFT) calculation illuminate that the visible-light absorption bands in the SrTi{sub 1-} {sub x} Cr {sub x} O{sub 3} catalyst are attributed to the band transition from the Cr 3d to the Crmore »« less
