In this work TiO2 and ZnO layers have been deposited by screen-printing in common glazed ceramic tiles. These layers were evaluated for the photocatalytic degradation of Orange II in aqueous solutions, in a batch photoreactor under visible light. The photocatalytic behaviour was assessed by taking into account experimental variables which include: (i) firing temperature of the TiO2 printed layer; (ii) layer thickness; (iii) operation time; (iv) pH; and (v) dye concentration. Optimal processed layers showed an interesting decolourisation performance (over 90% efficiency after 7-8 h). It is anticipated that these new ceramic materials might be developed as an interesting alternative to TiO2 or ZnO suspensions, for example in photocatalytic applications excusing the particles removal at the end of the process.

With the assistance of a rosin-based surfactant, dehydroabietyltrimethyl ammonium bromine (DTAB), well-dispersed hollow cube-like zirconia particles were firstly synthesized by the hydrothermal treatment of ZrOCl2 aqueous solutions. The introduction of DTAB is crucial for improving the dispersion and regularity of the as-synthesized sample. After calcination, the crystal size of the calcined samples increased, and the edge angle of the cube-like particles became round accordingly. Finally, a hollow spherical morphology was formed for the sample calcined at 923 K. The as-synthesized sample showed big surface area of 146.78 m2/g and large pore volume of 0.23 cm3/g. With the increase of calcination temperature, the surface area and pore volume of the samples decreased significantly, and the pore size increased accordingly.

A novel mixed metal molybdates, Zn2(MoO4)(SeO3) 1 has been synthesized by a simple hydrothermal process. Samples obtained are characterized using powder and single crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Furthermore, the photocatalytic performances of samples obtained are investigated for degradation of RhB under visible light irradiation. photocayalysis experimental result has illustrated that the compound exhibits good photocatalysis.
