Co-doped NiTiO3/g-C3N4 composite photocatalysts were prepared by a modified Pechini method to improve their photocatalytic activity toward methylene blue photodegradation under visible light irradiation. The combination of Co-doped NiTiO3 and g-C3N4 and Co-doping into the NiTiO3 lattice synergistically enhanced the photocatalytic performance of the composite photocatalysts. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results for the Co-doped NiTiO3/g-C3N4 composite photocatalysts confirmed Ti-N linkages between the Co-doped NiTiO3 and g-C3N4. In addition, characteristic X-ray diffraction peaks for the NiTiO3 lattice structure clearly indicated substitution of Co into the NiTiO3 lattice structure. The composite structure and Co-doping of the C-x composite photocatalysts (x wt % Co-doped NiTiO3/g-C3N4) not only decreased the emission intensity of the photoluminescence spectra but also the semicircle radius of the Nyquist plot in electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, giving the highest kapp value (7.15 × 10−3 min−1) for the C-1 composite photocatalyst.

In and Ag co-doped ZnS photocatalysts were successfully prepared by hydrothermal method to extend the light absorption of ZnS to the visible light region. The concentration of In was constant while for Ag was varied to optimize the photocatalytic activity. The In and Ag co-doped ZnS photocatalysts showed smaller band gap energy compared to single doped In (0.1)-ZnS and undoped ZnS. The photocatalytic activity of In and Ag co-doped ZnS photocatalysts was evaluated from the amount of hydrogen produced. The hydrogen evolution rate from aqueous solution containing Na2SO3 and Na2S as sacrificial reagent under visible light irradiation obtained from In and Ag co-doped ZnS is higher compared to the single doped In (0.1)-ZnS when optimum amount of Ag dopant was added. The highest photocatalytic activity is observed for In (0.1),Ag (0.01)-ZnS with hydrogen production rate of 26.82 μmol/h. The higher performance of this photocatalyst is ascribed to the extended visible light absorption, efficient charge separation as well as improved electron transfer associated with synergistic effect of appropriate amount of In and Ag co-doped ZnS.

Nitrogen and lanthanum co-doped nanocsystalline titania photocatalysts were prepared by a homogeneous precipitation-hydrothermal process. The photocatalytic activity of the prepared samples on photodegradation of rhodamine B in visible light irradiation was studied. The nitrogen and lanthanum co-doping could greatly improve the photocatalytic activity of titania in visible light irradiation, probablely due to a synergistic effect of co-doping. The nitrogen doping could narrow the band gap of titania and enhance the utilization efficiency of visible light, while the lanthanum doping could accelerate the separation of photo-generated electrons and holes. Furthermore, the lanthanum doping could increase the adsorption of organic pollutants on the surface of photocatalyst.

Niobium modified titania samples were prepared by thermal reaction of titanium tetraisopropoxide and niobium pentaethoxide in 1,4-butanediol at 300 °C (solvothermal method), and the products were nitrified in an NH3 flow at 600 °C. The physicochemical property of the thus-obtained N-and Nb-co-doped titanias and visible-light response photocatalytic activity of FeOx-loaded N-and Nb-co-doped titanias were investigated. The N-and Nb-co-doped titanias had larger absorptions in the visible-light range as compared to the only N-doped titania samples. In ESR spectra of the Nb-modified TiO2 samples annealed at 300 °C after the nitrification, signals due to Ti3+ and oxygen vacancies, which accelerate the recombination of the photo-generated electrons and holes, were clearly observed. On the other hand, for the N-and Nb-co-doped titanias annealed at 500 °C, the signals due to Ti3+ and oxygen vacancies decreased significantly. Actually, the FeOx-loaded N-and Nb-co-doped samples annealed at 500 °C exhibited a higher photocatalytic activity for a photocatalytic decomposition of acetaldehyde under visible-light irradiation.
