The original driving force for the exfoliation of RbNbO3 to form one-dimensional (1D) niobate nanobelts is the combination of the hydration of Rb+ and the hydrolysis of (NbO3)nn− and the 1D ultrathin nanobelts show high photocatalytic activity.

. The photocatalytic activity of three systems, promising for chemical water purification technologies, was experimentally compared, based on a combination of titanium dioxide/(Fe(II, III)), applying to the model oxidation reaction of methylorange organic dye in an aqueous medium. Herewith the cases of photocatalytic systems were investigated, which are based on: a) titania hydrosol obtained by hydrolysis of titanium isobutylate; b) a similar hydrosol with addition of Fe(III) ions; c) suspension of ilmenite powder based on FeTiO3. As a result of the investigation, the increase of the rate of destruction of methylorange by more than two times was found in the system with the introduction of a small amount of iron ions into initial suspension of the TiO2 hydrosol (at the obtaining a medium with the Fe3+ concentration up to 3.7 × 10–5 M). In the photocatalytic system, based on the suspension of pretreated (with suphation and calcination) ilmenite powder, enough high photocatalytic activity (the degree of methylorange decomposition up to 77 %) was measured but at a higher exposure than for the case of systems based on the TiO2 hydrosol. For the photocatalytic systems of the type being investigated, a possible mechanism of increasing their oxidative activity was briefly considered, which requires an additional physico-chemical analysis.

Low-dimensional structure compounds as layered perovskite shows high photocatalytic activity in water splitting. In this study, we investigated that synthesis and characterization of photocatalytic activity of BaGeGa6O12 with a one-dimensional structure. BaGeGa6O12 with loading 0.3wt% RuO2 showed a photocatalytic activity for water splitting into H2 (70.6 μ mol / h) and O2 (28.1 μ mol / h).

A novel Bi2O3–Bi2WO6 p–n junction photocatalyst exhibits high photocatalytic activity for the degradation of organic compounds under solar/visible light irradiation, which is ascribed to the effective separation of photogenerated electrons and holes by the internal electrostatic field in the junction region.

Heterojunction photocatalyst containing one dimensional nanostructures exhibits interesting size, shape and material-dependent photocatalytic properties compared to single-component counterpart. In this work, we develop a simple two-step strategy to WO3/TiO2 heterojunction based on WO3 nanorods and TiO2 nanoparticles. The as-obtained heterojunction features core-shell morphology and has the advantage of extended solar light response, enhanced chemical stability and easy recyclability. As such, it exhibits high photocatalytic activity toward organic pollutants degradation including rodamine B dye and gaseous acetaldehyde.

A one-dimensional WO3–Bi2WO6 photocatalyst exhibits high photocatalytic activity for the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) under solar light irradiation, which is attributed to the effective separation of photogenerated electron–hole pairs by the staggered band potentials between WO3 and Bi2WO6.
