The photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) of UV-irradiated aqueous solutions containing lignin onTiO2was studied for the influence of ferrous ions. The addition ofFe2+, up to 2.8 mgL−1, to the acidic lignin solution leads to the drastic, for about 25%, increase in PCO efficiency. A further increase in ferrous ion concentration results in a decrease in PCO efficiency of lignin. The maximum PCO efficiency, up to 9.2 mgW−1h−1, was observed in neutral and slightly basic media: the oxidation mechanism with OH-radicals seems to prevail. Also, the difference in the PCO performance with a different attachment mode of titanium dioxide on the catalyst support was observed. Sprayed catalyst exhibited 1.5 times higher efficiency than the one attached by submersion, although sprayed one was easily resuspended in acidic lignin solutions. The efficiency of the N-doped photocatalyst active in visible light was observed to be negligible with lignin.

The plasmonic photocatalyst Ag@AgCl was successfully prepared through a facile solvothermal method via a deep eutectic solvent (DES), which is composed of choline chloride and urea. X-Ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray, element-mapping, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, N2 absorption–desorption, and UV-vis diffuse reflectance techniques were adopted to analyse the performance of the plasmonic photocatalyst. Characterisation results indicated that the DES not only served as a solvent and Cl source, but also as a reductant. Meanwhile, the probable mechanism for the formation of Ag@AgCl is discussed, which revealed a visible light enhanced photocatalytic property for the degradation of benzidine. Furthermore, the photocatalyst showed no decrease in its catalytic activity even after five cycles of operation. Finally, a possible photocatalytic oxidation mechanism of Ag@AgCl is proposed.

In this study, for the first time, nitroalkanes, especially nitromethane, have been used as electron acceptors for the highly chemoselective oxidation of alcohols in the presence of a TiO2 photocatalyst under 400 nm LED irradiation.
