The electronic structures of [SrTiO 3 ] 1−x [LaCrO 3 ] x perovskite solid solutions are studied using hybrid density functional calculations to investigate their potential photocatalytic activity. The introduction of Cr 3+ into SrTiO 3 not only creates occupied states inside the band gap but can adversely narrow the conduction band. However, if Cr 3+ and Ti 4+ ions are segregated in alternating [001] layers, the conduction band remains highly dispersive. This suggests that the electronic structure can be tuned by controlling the cation arrangement. We predict that [SrTiO 3 ] 0.5 [LaCrO 3 ] 0.5 with alternating TiO 2 and CrO 2 layered along the [001] direction, which has not been experimentally realized yet, will exhibit strong absorption of visible light response and excellent electronic transport properties.
