Nickel oxide (NiO) thin films were successfully deposited by sol-gel dip-coating method on glass substrates. The structural, morphological and optical properties in addition to the photocatalytic activity of the prepared films were investigated. The results show that the films have a polycrystalline NiO cubic structure with dense NiO grains and average optical transmittance in the visible region. The photocatalytic properties of the films were studied through the degradation of methylene blue and 89% of degradation was achieved for 4.5h of solar light irradiation exposure which indicates the capability of NiO photocatalytic activity.

In this research, photocatalytic materials of TiO2, Ag-TiO2, Ag-TiO2/perlite were synthesized by the sol-gel method. By combining the photocatalytic activity between Ag-TiO2 and Perlite mineral, the Ag-TiO2/perlite composite has overcome the disadvantages of pristine TiO2, such as high band gap energy, low light utilization and easy recombination of electrons and holes. The synthesized samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherm, UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-vis DRS). The photocatalytic activity of the samples was tested for degradation of methylene blue (MB) under solar light irradiation. Photodegradation studies revealed a 95% removal of MB dye via the synthesized Ag-TiO2/perlite after 150 min of irradiation. Reusability of this hybrid photocatalyst system was tested and only a 3% decrease was observed after four cycles.
