Nano-TiO2 photocatalyst powders were prepared through the sol-gel method and supercritical fluid drying(SCFD). The TG-DTA、XRD、particle size distribution technique、SEM were used to characterize the hyperfine TiO2 particles.The lanthanum-doped TiO2 with different mass percentage of La3+ were compared with pure TiO2 when used as photocatalyst in degradation of methyl orange. The best catalytic activity was observed with 0.02(mol)%La-TiO2. Photocatalytic efficiency of the 0.02(mol)%La- TiO2 is improved by 30.79% comparing to pure TiO2.

Abstract. The present work focuses on the photo-catalytic degradation of methyl orange (MO) on Erbium trioxide nanoparticles Er2O3 NPs. In this study, Er2O3 nanoparticles were synthesized and fully characterized via various techniques including; XRD diffraction, UV-Vis spectroscopy and SEM techniques. The results revealed that, the photo-catalytic activity of the prepared Er2O3 NPs towards methyl orange (MB) photo-degradation was manifested. The optimum efficiency obtained was 16 %.

Nano-size Ag-N co-doped ZnO-CuO composites have been synthesized and tested for their photo-catalytic activity towards degradation of methyl orange in aqueous solution under visible as well as UV radiations. Crystal structure, surface functional groups, metallic composition and band structure of as-synthesized nano-material were investigated using XRD, FTIR, AAS and UV-Vis spectroscopic techniques, respectively. Ag-N co-doped ZnO-CuO photocatalyst showed higher photo-catalytic activity than Ag- or N-doped and undoped composite photocatalysts. The observed highest activity of Ag-N co-doped ZnO-CuO among the studied photo-catalysts, is attributed to the cumulative effects of lowering of band-gap energy and decrease of recombination rate of photo-generated electrons and holes owing to doped N and Ag, respectively. Effects of photo-catalyst load, solution pH and substrate initial concentration on the degradation of methyl orange have also been studied.

Current research focuses on synthesis and characterization of magnetically separable core@shell (NiFe2O4@TiO2) nanostructured photocatalyst with different weight percent (10, 20, 30, and 40) TiO2 using simple wet chemical techniques. Magnetic core with TiO2 shell was synthesized by the hydrolysis of TTIP precursor with NiFe2O4 nanoparticles. NiFe2O4 nanoparticles were synthesized by the sol-gel auto combustion method. The synthesized nanostructures were characterized for structural, morphological and magnetic behavior using XRD, TEM, SEM and VSM while the surface area was calculated using Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analyzer. Pure nickel ferrite was indexed as spinel FCC crystal structure while anatase titania was confirmed from the characteristic peaks in the indexed XRD patterns. SEM images show the uniform particle size and spherical morphology with average size of 18.85 nmand#177;2nm. The Surface area of prepared core@shell nanostructures was found as 258 m2/g for 10 wt. % TiO2 photocatalyst. A decrease in surface area has been observed with the increase in TiO2 percentage. The photo-catalytic degradation of MO was studied using UV-Visible spectroscopy under NiFe2O4-TiO2 catalyst. UV-spectra revealed degradation of methyl orange by the decrease in the characteristic peak at 460 nm. Kinetics of degradation reaction were studied by the integral method of analysis using UV absorbance data at 460 nm. The photo-catalytic activity of as synthesized catalyst was enhanced many folds as compared to the pure nickel ferrite. M-H curves obtained from VSM revealed a decrease in the magnetization of nickel ferrite with a coating of non-magnetic TiO2.
