<div>The effects of various metal dopants on the photocatalytic water splitting activity of SrTiO<sub>3</sub> -based photocatalysts were investigated using experimental studies. The SrTiO<sub>3</sub>:Rh (1%) has been found to give the best efficiency in water splitting out of the various metal-doped samples studied. However, the same host doped with other metal dopants such as Fe, V, Ga, and Sb leads to negligible hydrogen evolution even when at least Fe has a better visible light response. Our results accompanied by previously conducted theoretical studies by our group explain the high photocatalytic water splitting activity of Rh doped SrTiO<sub>3 </sub>. Furthermore, the effects of the amount of catalyst, the proportion of sacrificial agent and pH were studied for the SrTiO<sub>3</sub>:Rh (1 mol%) along with studying its activity with seawater.</div>

The black TiO\(_2\) with substantial Ti\(^3+\) and oxygen vacancies exhibit an excellent photoelectrochemical water-splitting performance due to the improved charge transport the extended visible light response. In this study, black TiO\(_2\) nanotube arrays synthesized by the anodization method, and then, they have been investigated some characterizations by spectroscopic methods such as UV-visible reflectance (UV-vis DRS), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, and photoluminescence spectrum. The results showed that some highlighted properties of the black TiO2 nanotube arrays and they could apply for water-splitting effect.
