Platinum (Pt) has been intensively studied as an effective cocatalyst for photocatalysis, but most reports have focused on metallic Pt rather than PtO. Here, Pt/PtO nanodots were deposited on porous yolk–shell La2O3 microspheres. XRD patterns and XPS analysis demonstrated the coexistence of Pt and PtO, which was beneficial for photocatalytic performance. SEM images showed the yolk–shell structure of La2O3, and TEM images demonstrated that the Pt/PtO nanodots were uniformly distributed on the La2O3 microspheres. The rate constant of the hybrid was calculated to be 0.00656 min−1 for methyl orange (MO) degradation, while that of bare La2O3 was only 0.00303 min−1. This work suggests that the use of the deposited cocatalyst Pt/PtO on La2O3 microspheres is a promising strategy for the degradation of organic pollutants.

Inorganic semiconductor oxides loaded on composite nanofibers (CNFs) have been widely applied in environmental monitoring, industry, aviation, and transportation. In this paper, heterostructured CuO–ZnO-loaded CNF membranes (CNFMs) were prepared successfully by a combination of electrospinning, heat treatment, and hydrothermal synthesis. The influence of the synthesis parameters on morphology, structure, and properties of the CNFMs was investigated, and the optimal process parameters were determined. Then, the CNFMs obtained with optimal process parameters were applied for the photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange. It was found that the CNFMs could be reused to degrade methyl orange at least three times, and the degradation rate remained above 90%.

In this paper, a simple, efficient and environmental friendly method was proposed to fabricate TiO2/CdS nanotube arrays. The composite nanotubes with a core-shell coaxial structure were fabricated via a simple method of liquid deposition and double diffusion using anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) templates. The photocatalytic properties of the nanotube arrays (TiO2, TiO2/CdS) were confirmed by the degradation of methyl orange (MO) under UV irradiation. Compared to bare TiO2 nanotube arrays, TiO2/CdS composite nanotube arrays showed improved photocatalytic performance: The degradation efficiency of TiO2/CdS and TiO2 nanotube arrays towards methyl orange was 65% and 39%, respectively.
