First-principles investigations on the conducting photocatalytic behaviour in SrZrxGe1−xO3 (x = 1, 0.96, 0.92 and 0.88) by Ajoy Kumer, Khondaker Afrina Hoque, Unesco Chakma, Bikram Dhara, Taha Alqahtani, Humood Al Shmrany, Ali Alqahtani, Mustafa. M. Mundu, Daniel E. Uti

“…First of all, the band gaps by the most accurate method of GGA with PBE are at 3.72, 2.43, 2.18, and 1.20 eV for SrZrO3, SrZr0.96Ge0.04O3, SrZr0.92Ge0.08O3 and SrZr0.88Ge0.12O3, respectively. Secondly, having the sharp peak for all crystals in valence band (VB), they are considered as p-type semiconductor materials, creating holes in the VB thereby enabling more hydroxyl free radical for photocatalysis. …”
