In this study, we investigated the synthesis, characterization, and photocatalytic activity of ceriumdoped barium titanate (Ce-BaTiO3) nanoparticles (NPs) in the degradation of methyl blue dye under shock impulsion experimentation. Ce-BaTiO3 nanoparticles have been synthesized by using the sol-gel method. Shock wave impulsion experiments were performed on samples 50, 100, and 150 to evaluate the stability of the chemical and physical properties of Ce-BaTiO3 NPs. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to analyses the sample’s structural properties. The crystallographic characteristics of the Ce-BaTiO3 NPs were ascertained by performing a Rietveld refinement analysis and confirmed tetragonal structure with good crystalline nature. According to the FESEM investigation, the average grain size of the ambient gradually decreases from 430.02 to 174.75 nm (50 shocks) nm and then drops to 148.19 nm (150 shocks). Our photocatalytic experiment reveals that variables including stress, strain, and bond length have a significant influence on photocatalytic application.
