Due to the heightened emphasis on environmental protection and the escalating demand for renewable energy sources, the potential applications of strontium titanate (SrTiO3) nanoparticles in photocatalysis have shown remarkable promise. With rapid advancements in technological capabilities, the standards for SrTiO3 photocatalytic materials have soared. Researchers have relentlessly delved into and innovated techniques for preparing strontium titanate powders, striving to yield nanocrystalline SrTiO3 that exhibits specific morphologies, high purity, superior dispersibility, and exceptional photocatalytic efficiency, while continually refining the properties of these powders. The paper encapsulates the advancements in preparation methodologies and photocatalytic attributes of perovskite SrTiO3 nanoparticles, encompassing diverse synthetic routes such as hydrothermal synthesis, sol-gel process, chemical precipitation, solid-state reaction, sonochemical technique, and composite modification strategies. The characteristics, merits, demerits, and prevailing challenges associated with each synthesis technique are thoroughly and analyzed. Ultimately, this review serves as a valuable reference and foundation for the synthesis, modification, and application of SrTiO3 nanoparticle photocatalysts, fostering their development and practical implementation in environmental remediation and renewable energy technologies.
