Barium titanate nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesised using a modified sol–gel technique. The structure and morphology of NPs were described using various techniques. The photocatalytic activities of the NPs were evaluated by the photocatalytic degradation of Eriochrome black T and potassium dichroma...
