The LaFeO3 nanoparticle was synthesized using Fe(NO3)3 and La(NO3)3 as starting materials by homogeneous precipitation method. The as-prepared LaFeO3 product was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). XRD and SEM demonstrate the successful synthesis of single phase perovskite LaFeO3 and with 60-80 nm particle size. It was found that the as-prepared LaFeO3 shows strong visible-light absorption with absorption onset of 532 nm, indicating a narrow optical band gap of 2.33 eV. Furthermore, the as-prepared LaFeO3 shows high visible-light photocatalytic activity for decomposition of methylene blue in comparison with the commercial Degussa P25.

The Nano-Bi2MoO6was prepared using Bi(NO3)3•5H2O and Na2MoO4•2H2O as starting materials by a hydrothermal process. The prepared Bi2MoO6product was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). It was found that the prepared nano-Bi2MoO6show narrow band gap of 2.88 eV. Consequently, the prepared nano-Bi2MoO6show high visible-light photocatalytic activity for decomposition of Rhodamine B in comparison with the commercial Degussa P25, which was ascribed to the visible-light absorption.

The visible-light photocatalytic activity of titanate nanotubes (TiNTs) sensitized by 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP), 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin manganese (MnTPP), 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin nickel (NiTPP) and 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin zinc (ZnTPP), respectively, was investigated by the photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange (MO) as a probe reaction. The results showed that the central ions of porphyrins had an important influence on the photocatalytic activity of the samples. The activity was in the order of TiNTs-ZnTPP > TiNTs-TPP > TiNTs-NiTPP > TiNTs-MnTPP. Combined the result of absorption spectra with that of fluorescence spectra, it was demonstrated that various visible-light absorption and photoelectron transfer caused by the central ions of porphyrins were the decisive factor for the visible-light photocatalytic activity of the sensitized TiNTs.
