The experiment used iron chloride, iron dichloride and other agents as the main resources to prepare the nano Fe3O4 powder by co-precipitation method. Magnets were used to test the magnetism of the prepared nano Fe3O4 powder samples. And the photo-catalytic degradation of rhodamine B solution was used as the model reaction to test the photo-catalytic activity of the prepared nano Fe3O4 powder. The results showed that the prepared nano Fe3O4 powder samples had good magnetism but low photo-catalytic activity.

Abstract Manganese dioxide (α-MnO2) nanorods with diameters of about 5-15 nm and lengths of 100-150 nm were synthesized by a simple co-precipitation method. XRD, TEM, HRTEM, SAED and XPS were used to analyze the crystallographic information, microstructure and chemical bonding of the as-prepared sample. The α-MnO2 nanorod exhibited a high efficiency and rapid removal rate of rhodamine B (RhB), which reached about 97.5% within 10 min when pH=4 (and pH=6.6) and 97.7% within 50 min when pH = 9 in the presence of H2O2. The results also indicated that a lower pH value is conducive to the movement of the characteristic peak and the attenuation of the intensity of the characteristic peak of RhB dye. Then a possible catalytic mechanism was revealed. Moreover, the α-MnO2 nanorod exhibits an excellent recyclability and catalytic stability. This research indicates that α-MnO2 nanorods have a potential application in practical dye pollutant treatment.

Synthesis of Ag3PO4 photocatalyst under the varied concentrations of AgNO3 and Na2HPO4·12H2O as starting material has been successfully synthesized using the co-precipitation method. The concentration of AgNO3 is 0.1; 0.5; 1.0; and 2.0 M, whereas Na2HPO4·12H2O is 0.03; 0.17; 0.33; and 0.67 M, respectively. The co-precipitations were carried out under aqueous solution. As-synthesized photocatalysts were examined to degrade Rhodamine B (RhB) under blue light irradiation. The results showed that varying concentrations of starting materials affect the photocatalytic activities, the intensity ratio of [110]/[200] facet plane, and their bandgap energies of Ag3PO4 photocatalyst. The highest photocatalytic activity of the sample was obtained by synthesized using the 1.0 M of AgNO3 and 0.33 M of Na2HPO4·12H2O (AP-1.0). This is due to the high [110] facet plane and increased absorption along the visible region of AP-1.0 photocatalyst. Therefore, this result could be a consideration for the improvement of Ag3PO4 photocatalyst.

Bi2O3 has successfully been synthesized using precipitation method with sintering temperature variations of 400oC, 450o C, 500o C, 550o C, and 600o C. Crystallinity property of resulting Bi2O3 powder has also been tested with XRD and morphology properties were tested with SEM. Meanwhile, photocatalytic properties were tested by using it to degrade Rhodamine B under sunlight. Results of XRD tests show that differences in sintering temperature affect crystallite size. Increases in sintering temperature between 400o C and 500o C result in greater crystallite size, whereas sintering temperature between 550o C and 600oC result in smaller crystallite size. Results of SEM tests show that resulting Bi2O3 has rod-like structure, While results of degradation tests show that increases in sintering temperature enhances photocatalytic activities of Bi2O3, as evident with Bi2O3 undergoing sintering at 600oC was able to degrade Rhodamine B with 56.74% effectiveness and degradation rate of 0.007 ppm/min.

In this work, a flower-shaped ZnO/GO/Fe3O4 ternary nanocomposite was synthesized via the co-precipitation method. Two significant goals of the study were boosting the degradation efficiency of ZnO and achieving a fast and simple synthesis approach. The structure, properties, and morphology of the product were characterized, and the effect of the ZnO flower-shaped structure in combination with GO nanosheets and magnetite nanoparticles was investigated on the photocatalytic activity. The structure and quality of the prepared nanocomposite were assessed by X-ray diffraction pattern, UV-visible DRS spectroscopy, Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM). The catalytic activity of the nanocomposite was assessed by spectrophotometric analysis. The developed nanocomposite offered high photodegradation efficiency in Rhodamine B degradation under UV-C light in comparison with pure ZnO. At a specific period, the efficiency of the synthesized sample was about two times greater than that of pristine ZnO particles. Our nanocomposite is anticipated to have practical benefits in wastewater treatment given its good performance, economic savings through reducing the amount of catalyst consumption and saving time, and being a facile and fast synthesis method.
