In this work, a SiO2-TiO2 coating, composed of different numbers of TiO2 and SiO2 layers, was fabricated by a spray-coating technique. The films were deposited onto ignimbrite rock and divided into two groups according to the number of SiO2 layers applied, 10 and 15 layers of SiO2 and 5 layers of TiO2 for each group. The morphology and chemical composition of the synthesized samples were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS), which reveal the successful SiO2-TiO2 coating on ignimbrite. The photocatalytic activities of samples obtained were evaluated toward the decomposition of 3 ppm of methyl orange (MO). Finally, NOx gas degradation was studied. The obtained results evidenced that the SiO2 and TiO2 coating improved the photocatalytic activity of ignimbrite.

In this work, we report that ZnTiO3/TiO2 composites, which were synthesized by hydrothermal method possessed photocatalytic and potential spraying properties. The obtained ZnTiO3/TiO2 composites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction techniques (XRD). Photocatalytic activities of ZnTiO3/TiO2 composites were evaluated by using Rhodamine B (RhB) as a model pollutant under visible light irradiation. The experimental results showed that the as-prepared ZnTiO3 (2%)/TiO2 composite exhibited better photocatalytic activity than that of pure TiO2.

TiO2/La2Zr2O7 composites were fabricated by sol-gel method. The composites were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Raman spectrum, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) nitrogen adsorption. The results showed that TiO2 was uniformly coated on the surface of La2Zr2O7 powders. The BET surface area of TiO2/La2Zr2O7 composites was 26.78 m2/g, which was larger than that of La2Zr2O7. Also, the photodegradation of methyl orange was used to evaluate its photocatalytic property. It was found that TiO2/La2Zr2O7 composites showed good photocatalytic activity and the decomposition of methyl orange had basically completed within 30 min.

Ordered titanate nanoribbon (TNR)/SnO2films were fabricated by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) process using hydrothermally prepared titanate nanoribbon as a precursor. The formation mechanism of ordered TNR film on the fluorine-doped SnO2coated (FTO) glass was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The effects of calcination temperatures on the phase structure and photocatalytic activity of ordered TNR/SnO2films were investigated and discussed. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) results indicate that the phase transformation of titanate to anatase occurs at 400°C and with increasing calcination temperature, the crystallization of anatase increases. At 600°C, the nanoribbon morphology still hold and the TiO2/SnO2film exhibits the highest photocatalytic activity due to the good crystallization, unique morphology, and efficient photogenerated charge carriers separation and transfer at the interface of TiO2and SnO2.

The spherical nanoporous TiO2aerogels were prepared by a simple ethanol-thermal method, using spherical cellulose alcohol-gel as the template. The morphology, crystalline structure, pore size, specific surface area, and the photocatalytic activity of obtained TiO2aerogel were separately characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), N2adsorption-desorption isotherms, and double beam UV-VIS spectrophotometer. The characteristics of TiO2aerogels presented uniform sphere shape, good internal structural morphology, high specific surface area (ranging from 111.88 to 149.95 m2/g), and good crystalline anatase phase. Moreover, methyl orange dye was used as the target pollutant to characterize the photocatalytic activities and the adsorption performance. The photocatalytic experiment shows that the obtained spherical TiO2aerogels had a higher degradation ratio of 92.9% on methyl orange dye compared with aspherical TiO2aerogels prepared from other concentrations of tetrabutyl orthotitanate (TBOT).

General Method

Zn2GeO4:Mn[Formula: see text],[Formula: see text]Eu[Formula: see text] and Zn2GeO4:Mn[Formula: see text] powders were synthesized by a high-temperature solid-state reaction. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize the structures and morphologies of the synthesized powders, respectively. The photocatalytic properties and long persistent luminescence performance were improved by Eu[Formula: see text] doping. Thermoluminescent (TL) curves showed that the trap concentration in the material was increased with Eu[Formula: see text] doping, which formed trap centers in Zn2GeO4:Mn[Formula: see text]. The trap centers can capture the electrons or holes and subsequently increase the separation of photogenerated electrons and holes by suppressing the recombination of captured electrons and holes; thus, resulting in an improved photocatalytic activity and a prolonged persistent luminescence. The present strategy may be used as a general method to improve the photocatalytic activity and persistent luminescence.

The polyaniline/bismuth oxybromide (PANI/BiOBr) hybrids materials have been synthesized hydrothermally in the presence of PANI. The PANI/BiOBr hybrids materials were confirmed by X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and ultraviolet–visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopies. Among the hybrid photocatalysts, PANI/BiOBr-0.2 showed the highest photocatalytic properties for the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB), and the increased photocatalytic properties could be due to photosensitization and the inhibited electron–hole recombination.

The composites of expanded graphite with TiO2(EG/TiO2) were prepared in the method of impregnation, the morphology and crystal structure were characterized by the means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The decolorization performance of the EG/TiO2composites for the methyl orange aqueous solution were studied. The experimental results were shown as follows: the EG/TiO2composites maintained the porous and lamellar structure of EG, and a lot of anatase TiO2particles as a small lumpdistributed on surfaces and in layers of EG. The composites may contain the graphite both oxidized and un-oxidized, and there was no other organic group left in the composites, except for the functional groups of graphite. Moreover, the EG/TiO2composites had excellent decolorization performance for the methyl orange aqueous solution. When reacted for 90 min, the decolorization rate of the methyl orange aqueous solution was at the peak, up to 96.1%. We supposed that it was mainly due to the interaction between the strong adsorptive ability of EG and the degradation property of TiO2particles.

Bismuth titanate powders have been prepared by the citric-combustion method using bismuth nitrate and tetrabutyl titanate as the starting materials, and the effect of sintering temperature and the ratio of bismuth to titanium on their structure and photocatalytic activity was studied. The powders were characterized by X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The photocatalytic properties of the samples were probed by using the methyl blue as simulated contaminants. The results showed that bismuth titanate powder prepared at 873K has the best photocatalytic activity.

Bismuth tungstate (Bi2WO6) microcrystalline with different surfactant were successfully prepared by a facile hydrothermal route.The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and BrunauerEmmettTeller surface area (BTE) in detail. The photocatalytic activity of the samples was also evaluated using the degradation of Rh B at room temperature under visible light irradiation. It was found that the surfactant played important roles in the formation process of controlling the morphology and structure of the catalyst and also had a great influence on the catalytic activity. SDS and CTAB effectively improved the catalytic activity and PVP was good at controlling morphologies.
