The superior photo-catalytic activity of mesoporous Na doped TiO2 attributed to the combined effect of electron–hole recombination rate, increased surface area and enhanced crystallinity.

Ag, Pd loaded Bi2WO6 photocatalyst were prepared via a photoreduction process and characterized with UV-Vis-DRS, XRD and FE-SEM. The photocatalysis experimental results indicated that the photocatalytic activity of Ag-loaded Bi2WO6 was greatly enhanced compared with pure Bi2WO6, and the content of silver has an impact on the catalytic activity of Ag-loaded Bi2WO6 photocatalyst. The loaded Ag and Pd acts as the electron receptor on the surface of Bi2WO6, which inhibits the recombination of photogenerated charge carrier between Ecb to the Evb in the Ag-loaded Bi2WO6. As a result, the reduction of electron-hole recombination decreased, which could significantly improve the photocatalytic activity.

AbstractCdS/HgS/CdS nanoparticles consist of a CdS core, epitaxially covered by one or two monolayers of HgS and additional cladding layers of CdS. The present paper describes our efforts to identify the influence of CdS/HgS/CdS interfaces on the localization of the photogenerated carriers deduced from the magneto-optical properties of the materials. These were investigated by the utilization of optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) and double-beam photoluminescence spectroscopy. A photoluminescence (PL) spectrum of the studied material, consists of a dominant exciton located at the HgS layer, and additional non-excitonic band, presumably corresponding to the recombination of trapped carriers at the interface. The latter band can be attenuated using an additional red excitation. The ODMR measurements show the existence of two kinds of electron-hole recombination. These electron-hole pairs maybe trapped either at a twin packing of a CdS/HgS interface, or at an edge dislocation of an epitaxial HgS or a CdS cladding layer.

Particulate suspensions of TiO2 irradiated with natural solar tight in a large experimental plant catalyse the oxidation of organic contaminants. The problem in using TiO2 as a photocatalyst is electron/hole recombination. One strategy for inhibiting e−/h+ recombination is to add other (irreversible) electron acceptors to the reaction. In many highly toxic waste waters where degradation of organic pollutants is the major concern, the addition of an inorganic anion to enhance the organic degradation rate may be justified. For better results, these additives should fulfil the following criteria: dissociate into harmless by-products and lead to the formation of ·OH or other oxidising agents. In this paper, we attempt to demonstrate the optimum conditions for the treatment of commercial pesticide rinsates found in the wastewater produced by a pesticide container recycling plant. The experiments were performed in one of the pilot plants of the largest solar photocatalytic system in Europe, the Detoxification Plants of the Plataforma Solar de Almería (PSA), in Spain. After testing ten different commercial pesticides, results show that peroxydisulphate enhances the photocatalytic miniralization of all of them. This study is part of an extensive project focused on the design of a solar photocatalytic plant for decontamination of agricultural rinsates in Almería (Spain).
