Bi2WO6 doped with iodine ions were synthesized using hydrothermal method and their photocatalytic activities to degrade Rhodamine B (RhB) under visible-light was investigated. The successful incorporation of I ions in Bi2WO6 was proved by XRD and XPS. UV-vis absorption spectra results show that I ion was successfully doped into Bi2WO6 and a red shift for I-doped Bi2WO6 appeared when compared to pure Bi2WO6. The photocatalytic activities of the photocatalysts were evaluated by the decolorization of RhB under visible-light irradiation. The results showed that the photocatalytic activity of I-doped Bi2WO6 was much higher than the undoped Bi2WO6.

First Time

Two new oxide photocatalysts in the Pb–Mg–Nb ternary system, Pb3MgNb2O9 (PMN) and Pb1.83Mg0.29Nb1.71O6.39, have been synthesized, and their photophysical and photocatalytic properties were investigated for the first time. The band gaps of PMN and Pb1.83Mg0.29Nb1.71O6.39 were estimated to be 3.2 and 2.8 eV, respectively, from their absorption spectra. The photocatalytic activity evaluated from the decomposition of 2-propanol into acetone under visible-light irradiation indicated that Pb1.83Mg0.29Nb1.71O6.39 exhibited at least 20 times higher activity than PMN and has a strong oxidizing potential to mineralize organic compounds.

Ba0.6Mg0.4TiO3 (BMT) particles with different morphologies were synthesized through hydrothermal method and their optical and photocatalytic properties were investigated. Their crystal structure and microstructures were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). XRD patterns demonstrate that the as-prepared samples are tetragonal structure. FESEM shows that BMT crystals can be fabricated in different morphologies by simply manipulating the reaction parameters of hydrothermal process. The UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectra (UV-vis DRS) reveal that the band gaps of BMT photocatalysts are about 2.37 - 2.51 eV. The as-prepared BMT photocatalysts exhibite higher photocatalytic activities in the degradation of methyl orange (MO) under visible light irradiation (λ > 420 nm) compared with traditional N-doped TiO2 (N-TiO2) and pure BaTiO3 (BTO). The high photocatalytic performance of BMT photocatalysts could be attributed to the recombination restraint of the e-/h+ pairs resulting from doping of Mg2+ ions. The influence of morphologies upon the photocatalytic properties of BMT was studied. Furthermore, BMT nanowires reveal the highest photocatalytic activity. Up to 94.0% MO is decolorized after visible light irradiation for 360 min.

The Bi2O3/Ag3PO4 composites consisting of the monoclinic α-Bi2O3 and body-centered cubic Ag3PO4 were successfully synthesized by grinding Ag3PO4 and Bi2O3 mixtures in ethanol using an agate mortar, followed by calcination at 500°C for 5 hours, where the Ag3PO4 was synthesized by co-precipitation method using AgNO3 and NaH2PO4.2H2O as starting materials. The Bi2O3 content in the composite materials changed from 5 to 25 mol.%. The composites were characterized using XRD, DRS and BET specific surface area. The photocatalytic activities were evaluated using Rhodamin B degradation under visible light irradiation of blue LED (λ = 445 nm). The highest photocatalytic activities could be obtained at 5 mol.% Bi2O3 in Bi2O3/Ag3PO4 composite. The enhanced photocatalytic activity could be attributed to the effective separation of hole (h+) and electron (e-) pairs in the Bi2O3/Ag3PO4 composite.

Photocatalytic Activities

The highly active Ag3PO4 photocatalysts were successfully synthesized using the hydrophylic polymer of PVA (polyvinyl alcohol), PEG (polyethylene glycol) and PVP (polyvinyl pyrrolidone). The products were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Diffuse reflection spectroscopy (DRS), Field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) specific surface area, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Photocatalytic activities were evaluated using decomposition of Rhodamine B (RhB) under visible light irradiation. The results showed that the PVA, PEG, and PVP increased the specific surface area and enhanced the photocatalytic activity of Ag3PO4. The highest photocatalytic activity could be observed in Ag3PO4 synthesized with PVA, mainly due to an increase in electron excitation induced by PVA chemically adsorbed on the surface.

Photocatalytic Activities

Small quantities of lanthanum, yttrium and sulfur are doped in rutile n-TiO2 that was synthesized by an in-situ hydrothermal method. Their photocatalytic activities are characterized by the degradation of methylene blue (MB) under UV-Vis and visible light irradiation. The results show that lanthanum and yttrium ions are rich on the particle surface, which not only makes the surface energy decrease but also inhibits the recombination of photoexcited carriers, while S-doping produces states in the band gap of TiO2 that absorb visible light. Compared to the S-doping, La-doping, and Y-doping, respectively, the synergistic effects of (S, La)-codoping and (S, Y)-codoping result in a higher photocatalytic activity under visible light irradiation.
