The C, N, S tri-doped TiO2 with high visible-light photo-catalysis effect was successfully prepared by mixing thiourea with the self-prepared TiO2 powder through calcining for 2h at 450°C. The TiO2 powder was obtained by homogeneous precipitation method using the metatitanic acid instead of expensive chemical reagents contained Ti as raw material. The effect of doping materials and methods on the photo-degradation rate of methylene blue and dyes was studied. The characterizations of the doped TiO2 were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and UV-visible absorption spectra (UV-vis). The results showed that this sample was the anatase TiO2 and contained elements C, N, S. The sample exhibited a significant response to ultraviolet and visible light. In the photo-degradation experiment, the C, N, S, tridoped-TiO2 could decolorize methylene blue and textile dyes quickly, and the photo-degradation rate of methylene blue could reach upward 98% after 3 hours under the different light sources.

The recombination rate of photo-induced electrons and holes for Ni–Co codoped CeO2 nanostructures is reduced significantly, which essentially improve the photocatalytic activity for photo-degradation of MB dye.

We have synthesized layered Ni(OH)2via a facile liquid-phase precipitation method. NiO with a micro/nano-structure was obtained via calcining Ni(OH)2precursor at 350°C. The as-prepared NiO was utilized as a support to load Ag nanocrystals. SEM and TEM observations showed that Ag nanoparticles were homogeneously distributed onto NiO support and the Ag nanoparticles have sizes of 4-5 nm. The photocatalytic activity of NiO-loaded Ag was investigated by the photodegradation of methylene blue (MB) under the irradiation of visible light. The results suggest that the loading of Ag nanoparticles can enhance the photo-degradation performance of pristine NiO.

The CuS semiconductor photocatalysts with the spherical morphology have been synthesized through the solvothermal method. The as-prepared photocatalysts have been characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV-vis absorption (UV-vis). The photo-degradation experiments of the the as-prepared photocatalysts were performed in the visible light illumination and the methylene blue was choose as the wastewater pollutants. Particularly, the CuS semiconductor photocatalysts shows the highest degradation ratio (70%) of methylene blue under the visible light irradiation.
