To study the preparation of Fe3+/Ag+ co-doped TiO2 photocatalyst with sol-gel auto-igniting method, TiO2 powder was prepared with TiCl4 as raw material and the photocatalytic activity of doped TiO2 was examined with methylene blue (MB) as water samples, and a 15w low pressure mercury lamp as light source. Results showed that: the TiO2 co-doped with 0.02% (molar ratio) of Fe3+ and 0.5% (molar ratio) of Ag+ gives the highest photocatalytic activity. The according photodegradation rate constant of MB is 1.33 and 1.10 times of that with TiO2 and Fe/TiO2 separately.

In this work, the titanium dioxide ([Formula: see text]) nanofilms co-doped with [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] ions were successfully fabricated by the sol–gel method with dip-coating process. Methylene blue was used as the target degradation chemical to study the photocatalytic properties affected by different doping contents of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] ions. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and infrared (IR) spectroscopy. The results indicated that both pure [Formula: see text] nanofilms and single-doped samples possessed the photocatalytic activity in degradation of methylene blue. However, when the nanofilms co-doped with [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] ions were fabricated at the molar ratio of 3:1 ([Formula: see text]:[Formula: see text]), they exhibited the best photocatalytic activity after the heat treatment at [Formula: see text]C for 2[Formula: see text]h. The wettability property test indicated that the [Formula: see text] nanofilms co-doped with [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] ions in the molar ratio 3:1 owned an excellent hydrophilic property.

The present research investigates the application of the green method to produce nanocomposites. The CuO/PET fiber nanocomposite can be prepared in two ways. The first way involves the application of the electrospinning technique by which waste plastic cups of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) are converted into nanofibers. In the second way, the copper nanoparticle (CuONPs) is synthesized with the natural capped plant extract of sumac (Rhus Coriaria L., family Anacardiaceae) and the CuONPs are then combined as a filler with the PET nanofiber using a cross-linked solvent. The X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy dispersion spectroscopy (EDS), and map elements distribution can be applied to investigate the surface modification and alteration of the composite nanofiber morphology. The collected data show that the produced CuO/PET nanocomposites have a high surface area, well distribution of elements, magnificent shape, and stable dispersion state. Furthermore, the CuO/PET nanocomposites are considered as an efficient photocatalytic removal of the toxic methylene blue dye (MB) in aqueous solutions. The results of the present study demonstrate that the photocatalytic efficiency for removing MB dye is achieved in a short time using a low-intensity irradiation ultraviolet light.
