Novel visible-light responded aluminosilicophosphate-5 (SAPO-5)/g-C3N4 composite has been easily constructed by thermal polymerization for the mixture of SAPO-5, NH4Cl, and dicyandiamide. The photocatalytic activity of SAPO-5/g-C3N4 is evaluated by degrading RhB (30 mg/L) under visible light illumination (λ > 420 nm). The effects of SAPO-5 incorporation proportion and initial RhB concentration on the photocatalytic performance have been discussed in detail. The optimized SAPO-5/g-C3N4 composite shows promising degradation efficiency which is 40.6% higher than that of pure g-C3N4. The degradation rate improves from 0.007 min−1 to 0.022 min−1, which is a comparable photocatalytic performance compared with other g-C3N4-based heterojunctions for dye degradation. The migration of photo-induced electrons from g-C3N4 to the Al site of SAPO-5 should promote the photo-induced electron-hole pairs separation rate of g-C3N4 efficiently. Furthermore, the redox reactions for RhB degradation occur on the photo-induced holes in the g-C3N4 and Al sites in SAPO-5, respectively. This achievement not only improves the photocatalytic activity of g-C3N4 efficiently, but also broadens the application of SAPOs in the photocatalytic field.

By virtue of the systematic effects of S-doping on CeO2 and the ultrathin shell structure of CdS, the CeO2−xSx@CdS nanocomposite exhibits excellent photocatalytic activity under visible-light illumination for both H2 evolution (rate up to 1147.2 μmol g−1 h−1) and RhB degradation (efficiency reached 99.8%) as compared to CeO2, CeO2−xSx, and CdS.

La/Zr co-doping preserves visible light absorption of SrTaO2N, prohibits the formation of defects, improves surface hydrophilicity and charge separation conditions, all of which contribute to an enhanced photocatalytic activity for water reduction.

Abstract Photocatalytic activity of the natural semiconducting sphalerite mineral from Abuni, Nasarawa State, Nigeria was studied for the degradation of methylene blue (MB). Natural Sphalerite as a visible – light responsive photocatalyst was characterized by X ray diffraction (XRD), X ray fluorescence (XRF) and surface area analysis. To further enhance the photocatalytic activity of natural Sphalerite, the chemical composition of the sphalerite was varied via leaching with oxalic acids. The photocatalytic activity of the Natural sphalerite, leached sphalerite and as well as the calcined leachates was tested for MB degradation under visible light illumination. The result shows a very high percentage of MB degradation by natural sphalerite after 60mintues of light irradiation time. A composite of ZnO -α –Fe2O3 -ϒ-Fe2O3 with traces amount of MoO and MnO2 was synthesized by calcination of the obtained leachates at 1000°C for 4hours. The photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue dye follows pseudo first order kinetics.
