p-n heterojunction Ag2CO3/Ag3PO4/Ni thin films were prepared by electrochemical co-deposition. The surface morphology and structural properties of the thin films were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS). The photocatalytic (PC) properties of the Ag2CO3/Ag3PO4/Ni composite thin films were investigated by their ability to degrade rhodamine B (RhB) and Congo red (CR) under visible light irradiation. The results showed that the photodegradation efficiency of RhB by an Ag2CO3/Ag3PO4/Ni thin film under visible-light irradiation for 30[Formula: see text]min (98.84%) was 2.64 times higher than that of an Ag3PO4/Ni thin film and 3.44 times higher than of an Ag2CO3/Ni thin film. The presence of a [Formula: see text]-[Formula: see text] heterojunction greatly increased the charge conductivity of the film and its ability to photocatalytically reduce dissolved oxygen, which are the main reasons for the improved PC performance of the Ag2CO3/Ag3PO4/Ni films.

Here, the lamellar-shaped Bi2S3 grown on a porous TiO2 monolith was obtained by a two-step method including a sol–gel route and hydrothermal treatment. The photocatalytic activity of the as-synthesized Bi2S3/TiO2 composites was evaluated for photodegradation of methylene blue (MB) dye in aqueous solution under the visible-light irradiation. Based on our experimental results, 5% (molar ratio of Bi2S3 to TiO[Formula: see text] Bi2S3/TiO2 photocatalysts exhibited a maximum photodegradation rate of MB up to 96.9% under visible-light irradiation for 120 min. Our findings indicated that the lamellar-shaped Bi2S3 can extend the light absorption up to visible areas, and porous TiO2 can provide enhanced specific surface area and more mass transfer pathway to enhance the photodegradation efficiency. Furthermore, porous TiO2 can accept the electrons from the Bi2S3 conduction band due to the relatively positive electrode potential to impede the photoproduced electron and hole combination to result in advanced photocatalytic performance.

Abstract TiO2-modified reduced graphene oxide (TiO2-rGO) has been studied in one-process step synthesis via the hydrothermal method. In this study, the various concentrations of rGO were investigated and characterized by fourier transform infrared (FTIR), x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), surface area analyzer (SAA), thermogravimetric analysis/differential thermal analysis (TGA/DTA), and spectroscopy UV-Vis. In addition, the photodegradation of rhodamine-B was studied by a batch system under visible light irradiation at wavelength 554 nm. The optimum experimental results showed that the presence of rGO in TiO2 nanostructures could improve the specific surface area until 248.58 m2 g− 1 and enhanced the photodegradation efficiency until 70.66% under visible light irradiation. The photocatalyst stability was evaluated for five cycles experiment and the performance have reduced 6.58% efficiency.

The MWNT-TiO2nanocomposite was synthesized via direct growth of TiO2nanoparticles on the surface of the functionalized MWNTs by the hydrothermal treatment and utilized as the photocatalyst in the carbaryl degradation under both visible light and UV light irradiation. Visible-light-driven activity and enhanced UV-light-driven activity are both achieved as the composite MWNTs with TiO2can efficiently enhance the light absorption and charge separation and then photocatalytic activity. The photodegradation efficiency of carbaryl was examined by HPLC and IC techniques, which demonstrates that carbaryl can be readily degraded under visible light irradiation. Based on the obtained experimental results, assisted with the computer simulation of carbaryl molecule on PM3 level, it is presumed that the degradation of carbaryl starts with the break of N21-C23 and C19-N21 bonds and ends in the generation of naphthalen-1-ol before the ring-opening reaction.

ABSTRACTA series of rapidly solidified Ni-Mo-Cr-B alloys have been investigated for possible application as corrosion resistant hardfacing coatings. As-cast amorphous ribbons were pulverized to powder, which was subsequently applied to a substrate by plasma spraying. The coatings are substantially amorphous, as revealed by x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. They exhibit ∼95% of theoretical density and exhibit good corrosion and wear resistances, superior to those of many commercially available hardfacing coatings.

Abstract Cu doped InVO4 (xCu-InVO4 (x = 0.06–0.15 wt %) was synthesized by a facile one-pot hydrothermal method for the removal of methylene blue (MB) under LED light irradiation. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis indicated the coexistence of V5+ and V4+ species due to the O-deficient nature of the xCu-InVO4. The synthesized photocatalysts displayed a morphology of spherical and square shaped particles (20–40 nm) and micro-sized rectangle rods with a length range of 100–200 μm. The xCu-InVO4 exhibited superior adsorption and photodegradation efficiency compared to pristine InVO4 and TiO2 due to the presence of O2 vacancies, V4+/V5+ species, and Cu dopant. The optimum reaction conditions were found to be 5 mg L−1 (MB concentration), pH 6, and 100 mg of photocatalyst mass with a removal efficiency and mineralization degree of 100% and 96.67%, respectively. The main active species responsible for the degradation of MB were •OH radicals and h+. Reusability studies indicated that the 0.13Cu-InVO4 was deactivated after a single cycle of photocatalytic reaction due to significant leaching of V4+ and Cu2+ species.
