摘要

This study introduces a novel green synthesis of Sr-doped LaFe₀.₇Ni₀.₃O perovskite photocatalysts using decocted aqueous extract of Spirulina platensis from Tamanrasset, Algeria. The extract, rich in phenolics and flavonoids, acts as a natural reducing and stabilizing agent, enabling eco-friendly perovskite formation without toxic reagents. La₁₋ₓSrFe₀.₇Ni₀.₃O compositions (x = 0.0, 0.1, 0.2) were synthesized and characterized. The optical band gap decreased from 2.78 eV for the undoped sample to 2.50 eV for the Sr-doped compositions, surface area of 19.87 m²/g, and high crystallinity. It achieved 98.6% degradation of methylene blue under visible light in 90 min, outperforming the undoped sample (82.3% in 120 min). Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations confirmed that Sr doping enhances electronic properties, oxygen vacancies, and adsorption energy. To the best of our knowledge, limited studies have investigated the combination of Spirulina-mediated green synthesis and DFT modeling for Sr-doped LaFe₀.₇Ni₀.₃O perovskites, offering a sustainable and efficient approach for solar-driven water purification.
