Bi2O2CO3 is a UV-light-driven photocatalyst. Bi2O2CO3 nanoflakes modified with plasmonic Ag nanoparticles (Ag/Bi2O2CO3) were obtained by a hydrothermal method. In the synthetic process, Ag2C2O4 worked as the Ag source and C source for the simultaneous formation of Ag particles and CO[Formula: see text]. The optimum synthesis condition was found at [Formula: see text]C for 16[Formula: see text]h under alkaline condition. The binary heterostructure was then used for degrading 2, 4-Dichlorophenol (2, 4-DCP) and Rhodamine B in visible light, with an efficiency of nearly 80% for 2, 4-DCP and 100% for Rhodamine B after 4[Formula: see text]h and 2[Formula: see text]h reaction, respectively. The binary heterostructure exhibited improved photocatalytic activity compared to that of individual Ag and Bi2O2CO3 due to Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) effect of Ag. Meanwhile, after five recycling experiments, Ag/Bi2O2CO3 showed higher photocatalytic activity and lower performance degradation in comparison with the one prepared by photo-reduction of Ag[Formula: see text] on Bi2O2CO3 nanoflakes. This indicated the advantage of one-pot synthetic method. This work is expected to provide an efficient photocatalyst for organic pollutants degradation.

The synthesis of surface defect TiO2-x nanobelts with excellent visible light absorption is important to reduce costs, increase stability, and improve photocatalytic activity. In this work, we report that nitrogen-doped surface defect TiO2-x nanobelts are synthesized by annealing pristine TiO2 nanobelts in Ar/H2 (95%/5%) atmosphere followed by subsequent heat treatment in NH3 at various temperatures. The aim is to study the effect of the extent of the N-doping amount in the lattice of TiO2-x nanobelts on light absorption and photocatalytic activity. Considering the increase in organic pollutants in wastewater, the photocatalytic activity is measured by degrading rhodamine B (RhB) dye in water. The results demonstrate that the calcination temperature affects the doping level of N, and the b-TiO2-N550 sample exhibits higher photocatalytic performance than that of other samples under visible-light irradiation for the degradation of rhodamine B, which is up to 96.11%. The enhancement is ascribed to the synergistic effect of N-doping and self-doping oxygen vacancy (which extend the visible light absorption) and the separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers, which improves the photocatalytic activity.

TiO2/fine char (FC) photocatalyst was prepared via sol-gel method with tetrabutyl titanate as the precursor and FC as the carrier. The structural property of TiO2/FC photocatalyst was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the photocatalytic activity of TiO2/FC was evaluated by photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) aqueous solution under UV light irradiation. The results showed that TiO2was successfully coated on the surface of FC, and the TiO2/FC photocatalyst had better photocatalytic efficiency and stability for degradation of RhB under UV light illumination as compared to that of the pure TiO2and FC. The study provided a novel way for the application of FC to the photocatalytic degradation of organic wastes.

BiOCl/SnS2 core-shell heterojunction is prepared by a facile and economic hydrothermal method. The obtained BiOCl/SnS2 heterojunction displays high photocatalytic activity in the degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB). The high performance is explained by the fast separation of the photoinduced electron–hole pairs promoted by the heterojunction. The cycle life of the heterojunction is also improved compared with individual BiOCl or SnS2.

Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles prepared using simple co-precipitation method are characterized and photocatalytic activity is tested on the degradation of methylene blue and rhodamine B organic pollutants. Morphological and structural properties of synthesized nanomaterial have been characterized using FESEM, EDAX spectroscopy, and XRD, while UV-visible DRS spectroscopy and photoluminescence have been used to understand their optical properties. The photocatalytic behaviour of synthesized nanoparticles was evaluated on the degradation of methylene blue (MB) and rhodamine B (RhB) organic pollutants under solar light irradiation. The highest degradation was achieved for MB (100%) over RhB (96%). Preliminary investigation shows the effective degradation of organic pollutants by ZnO nanoparticles.
