AbstractCarbon nanotubes/akaganeite composite photocatalysts (CNTs/β-FeOOH) with different weight addition ratios of CNTs have been synthesized by a very simple hydrothermal method. X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectrum, UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscope were used to characterize the composite photocatalysts. This study investigates the oxidative degradation of methyl orange, a probe contaminant, by a heterogeneous photo-Fenton-like process over the prepared composite photocatalysts. The CNTs/β-FeOOH composites exhibit remarkably enhanced photocatalytic activity toward the degradation of methyl orange in water under visible light irradiation as compared with bare β-FeOOH. The added CNTs have triple crucial roles in the promotion of photocatalytic activity of β-FeOOH. One is to trap electrons and effectively hinder recombination of the photoexcited carriers. Two is to act as a dispersing support to control the particle size of β-FeOOH in the CNTs/β-FeOOH composites. Three is to enhance the visible light absorption intensity. Finally, the catalytic mechanism of CNTs/β-FeOOH composite is proposed.

Abstract Here in, we report the synthesis and characterization of ZnO–TiO2 composite as a potential photo catalyst for photo degradation of methyl orange under UV irradiation. ZnO–TiO2 with 1:1 ratio was synthesized via wet incipient impregnation method using TiO2 and Zn(NO3)2 ⋅ 6H2O as precursor material and the prepared composite was characterized by XRD, EDX and SEM. The synthesized composite was employed as photo catalyst for photo degradation of methyl orange. The photo degradation results showed that ZnO–TiO2 exhibited better catalytic performance than ZnO and TiO2 alone. The methyl orange photo degradation efficiency was determined to be 98, 75 and 60% over ZnO–TiO2, ZnO and TiO2 respectively using 50 mL solution of 100 mg/L at 40 °C for 120 min. The ZnO–TiO2 catalyzed photo degradation of methyl orange followed pseudo-first-order kinetic in terms of Langmuir–Hinshelwood mechanism.
