In this study, an efficient strategy for the synthesis of solvent titanium dioxide and titanium dioxide/graphitic carbon nitride (TiO2/g-C3N4) heterostructure photocatalyst was applied to fabricate a kind of visible-light-driven photocatalyst. The obtained samples were  characterised  by  means of  X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and photoluminescence. The heterostructure shows higher absorption edge towards harvesting more solar energy compared with pure TiO2 and pure g-C3N4 respectively. The  photocatalytic  behaviour  under  visible light  and  kinetics of  the TiO2/g-C3N4 catalyst via methylene blue degradation were addressed. The results showed that the introduction of solvent titanium dioxide  into g-C3N4 enhanced  the  photocatalytic activity in  the  visible  light region.  TiO2/g-C3N4 is  potential  visible  light  driven photocatalyst  for  the  organic substances degradation in aqueous solutions.

Bi2MoO6/BiOI composites were synthesized by solvothermal method and photocatalytic performances were evaluated by degrading methylene blue (MB). Experiment results show that Bi2MoO6/0.5BiOI has the best photocatalytic efficiency for eliminating 92% MB in 2 h under the excitation of visible light. Such superior photocatalytic performance is due to the significantly enhanced ability to absorb visible light and separated efficiency of photogenerated electrons and holes.

The FeS2 was synthesized using S powder, FeCl24H2O and PVP as main raw materials by solvothermal method. The FeS2 product was characterized by XRD, SEM, DRS and TG-DTA. The results show that FeS2 is the cube structure, particle size about 90 nm, band gap energy Eg=1.9 eV. Consequently, FeS2 nanoparticles show high visible-light photocatalytic activity for decomposition of methylene blue, which degradation rate of 10mg/L methylene blue solution can reach to 95% for 90 min under visible-light irradiation.

A series of visible light driven photocatalysts of Cr-doped TiO2 and Cr-doped TiO2 supported on TUD-1 have been successfully synthesized via surfactant-free sol-gel method followed by wet impregnation procedure. XRD analysis revealed that both anatase and rutile phases existed in Cr-doped TiO2 samples. After loading onto TUD-1, both Ti and Cr were incorporated in the highly porous siliceous matrix. As observed, more tetrahedrally coordinated Ti species was formed in Cr-doped TiO2 after supporting onto TUD-1. The photocatalytic performance of the synthesized materials was tested in the photodegradation of Methylene Blue under visible light irradiation. Results showed that 2.5 mol% Cr dopant gave the highest photocatytic activity to TiO2 in dye photodegradation. Besides, all the 2.5Cr-TiO2 supported on TUD-1 materials had higher photocatalytic activity than that of 2.5Cr-TiO2. Among the materials prepared, 2.5Cr-TiO2/30TUD-1 appeared as the most superior photocatalyst which gave the highest dye photodegradation of 75%.
