AbstractSynthesis of bismuth oxide synthesis through the precipitation method using H2C2O4 and Na2CO3 precipitating agents, identification of physicochemical properties and its photocatalysis activity for methyl orange degradation were conducted. The bismuth oxide synthesis was undertaken by dissolving Bi(NO3)3.5H2O in HNO3, then added precipitating agents to form precipitate. The results showed that bismuth oxide produced by H2C2O4 precipitating agent was a yellow powder containing a mixture of α-Bi2O3 (monoclinic) and β-Bi2O3 (tetragonal), porous with size of 28-85 μm. Meanwhile, the use of Na2CO3 as precipitating agent resulted in bismuth oxide consisting of α-Bi2O3 and β-Bi2O3 and Bi2O4, irregular shape without pore being 40-115 μm in size. Bismuth oxide synthesized with H2C2O4 precipitating agent showed higher photocatalytic activity compared to bismuth oxide synthesized using Na2CO3 on degrading methyl orange dye with degradation rate constants of 2.35x10-5 s-1 for H2C2O4 and 1.81x10-5 s-1 for Na2CO3.

Ordered Macroporous

Three-dimensionally (3D) ordered macroporous ZnO film was fabricated on a glass slide by layer-by-layer depositing and hydrolysis of Zn(CH3COO)2using 3D-ordered latex film as template followed by calcination at 450 °C for 2 h to remove the organic template. The as-prepared 3D-ordered macroporous ZnO film was characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), diffusive reflectance UV-visible absorption spectra (DRUV-VIS), photoluminescence (PL), and photoelectrochemical measurement. Its photocatalytic activity was evaluated by the photocatalytic degradation of crystal violet (CV) aqueous solution at ambient temperature under the irradiation of simulated solar light. It was found that the 3D-ordered ZnO film exhibits efficient photocatalytic activity for photodegradation of CV under the irradiation of simulated solar light.

AgCl-TiO2 nanocomposites with a core-shell structure were successfully prepared by hydrothermal treatment. And the products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Brunauer Emmett teller (BET) Analysis, and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). It is found that the composites consist of anatase TiO2 and cubic phase AgCl, which has higher surface area, stronger spectral response in visible region compared with pure TiO2. The photocatalytic activity of these samples was evaluated by photocatalytic decoloration of methyl orange (MO) under simulated solar light. The results show AgCl-TiO2 composite has much higher photocatalytic activity than that of pure TiO2, and it also has very good stability. The kinetic study showed that this photocatalytic process coincided with the Langmuir-Hinshelwood (L-H) pseudo first order reaction model.
