Biphasic TiO2 with adjustable crystalline phases was prepared by the hydrothermal-calcination method assisted by nitric acid (HNO3) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), using potassium titanate oxalate (K2TiO(C2O4)2) as the titanium source.

Abstract The g-C3N4 nanosheet was prepared by calcination method, the MoS2 nanosheet was prepared by hydrothermal method. The g-C3N4/MoS2 composites were prepared by ultrasonic composite in anhydrous ethanol. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), and photoluminescence (PL) techniques were used to characterize the materials. The photocatalytic degradation of Rhodamine B (Rh B) by g-C3N4/MoS2 composites with different mass ratios was investigated under visible light. The results show that a small amount of MoS2 combined with g-C3N4 can significantly improve photocatalytic activity. The g-C3N4/MoS2 composite with a mass ratio of 1:8 has the highest photocatalytic activity, and the degradation rate of Rh B increases from 50% to 99.6%. The main reason is that MoS2 and g-C3N4 have a matching band structure. The separation rate of photogenerated electron-hole pairs is enhanced. So the g-C3N4/MoS2 composite can improve the photocatalytic activity. The photocatalytic mechanism was proposed through the active matter capture experiment.

A magnetic photocatalyst [Formula: see text]-Bi2O3/Mn[Formula: see text]Zn[Formula: see text]Fe2O4 (Bi2O3/MZF) was fabricated by hydrothermal and calcination method, and characterized by XRD, FTIR, XPS and SEM, BET and VSM. The photocatalytic efficiency was measured by the degradation experiment of Rhodamine B (RhB). The degradation rate of the optimum sample Bi2O3/MZF (10 wt.%) could reach 96.8% after 3 h under visible light, and was improved significantly compared with pure [Formula: see text]-Bi2O3 due to the larger pore size (11.76 nm) and specific surface area (17.87 m2 ⋅ g[Formula: see text]. Meanwhile, the Bi2O3/MZF (10 wt.%) could be recovered under the external magnetic field due to its high magnetization saturation (9.22 emu ⋅ g[Formula: see text]. After reusing three times, the Bi2O3/MZF could still maintain the excellent photocatalytic activity and structural stability.
