Abstract

The development of new generation photocatalytic materials used for the betterment of human as well as environment. Perovskites and perovskites related nano-hetero-junction shows great interest for photocatalytic organic and inorganic pollutant removal. This chapter discusses its crystalline structures varying from cubic (high symmetry) to triclinic (very low symmetry). Various methods have been utilized for synthesis of perovskites such as sol-gel, hydrothermal, vapor deposition methods, solid-state reaction routs from oxide and high pressure technique. The first technique is used for the synthesis of perovskite is ceramic route in which the mixture of oxide was treated at high temperature and processed later by ceramic powder method. Various photocatalyst such as nitrides, sulphides, phosphides, oxide and mixed oxide are employed for photocatalytic water splitting or hydrogen generation. Future perspectives of perovskite-related photocatalyst are included in this chapter.
