A Novel catalyst prepared from Indonesia bauxite was used as a catalyst for photo fenton degradation of methyl orange solution. This catalyst is more cheaper than Nafion-based catalyst and more greener than other synthesized catalysts. It is easily prepared from Indonesian natural resources. X-ray diffraction measurements provide structure and mineral compostion of bauxite, while XRF provides information on the composition of Fe by 18% by weight of bauxite mass. The presence of large amounts of Fe in bauxite acts as a catalyst in the decomposition of metyl orange. Testing of photo fenton activity to decompose metyl orange showed that indonesian bauxite had high catalytic activity, was able to decompose 99.4% metyl orange within 40 minutes on irradiation using an 8Watt UVC radiation source

In this work, samarium and antimony (Sm–Sb) codoped tin oxide (SnO2) films have been successfully prepared on titanium (Ti) substrate by a facile sol gel method. The samples were characterized by X–ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The composite film materials were used as anode for the electro-degradation of methyl orange solution. Two effective factors of electro–catalytic properties namely, the content of Sm in the SnO2 samples and the calcination temperature, have been optimized based on the electro-degradation experiments. A moderately calcination temperature of 873 K and 1.0% Sm doping owned the best performance. The smaller grain sizes and optical band gap of the SnO2 by introduction of the Sm improved electro-catalytic activity.

Silver (Ag+) doped iron (III) vanadate (FeVO4) samples are prepared by the precipitation method and then characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS). The photocatalytic activity under visible light is evaluated by photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange (MO) in the solution. The results show that both FeVO4 and Ag+ doped FeVO4 samples are triclinic, the later have different surface morphology, and some needle-shaped materials appear in the later. From XPS, there are more Fe2+ ions in Ag+ doped FeVO4 sample than that in FeVO4 one without Ag+. It indicates that Ag+ doping can increase the density of the surface oxygen vacancies of catalysts, which can act as electron traps promoting the electron-hole separation and then increase the photo-activity. The decoloration rate after Ag+ doping against methyl orange solution can reach about 81%, and be more about 20% than that of pure FeVO4.

A series of ZnIn2S4 photocatalysts were synthesized via a surfactant-assisted hydrothermal method at 120 °C for 6h. The products were characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS) and field emission scanning electron microscope. The results indicated that the series of samples have similar profiles in the XRD and DRS detection. The addition of surfactants were not promote the regular and uniform marigold-like microspheres morphology. The photocatalytic activities of the as-prepared samples were evaluated by photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange solution under visible light irradiation.

Using the prepared particles of 10 nm–25 nm as magnetic core, we synthesized / composite particles with as the shell by homogeneous precipitation. Their structure and morphology were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electronic microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR), and vibration-sample magnetometer (VSM). We show that with urea as precipitant transparent and uniform coating of ca.3 nm thick on , particles can be obtained. The composite particles have better dispersivity than the starting materials, and exhibit super-paramagnetic properties and better chemical adsorption ability with saturated magnetization of 33.5 emu/g. Decoloration experiment of methyl orange solution with / composite suggested that the highest decoloration rate was 94.33% when the pH of methyl orange solution was 1.3 and the contact time was 50 minutes. So this kind of / composite particle not only has super-paramagnetic property, but also good ability of chemical adsorption.

ABSTRACTSillenite Bi25FeO40 crystallites have been fabricated via a sol-gel approach. X-ray diffraction results show that single-phase Bi25FeO40 can be synthesized at the annealing temperature of 600 oC with the help of PEG additive. The amount of additives and the annealing temperature has great effects on the formation of phase pure Bi25FeO40 crystallites. The morphologies of Bi25FeO40 crystallites were observed by SEM techniques. UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy indicated the good visible light absorption of Bi25FeO40 crystallites. The photo-catalytic activity of Bi25FeO40 powders was evaluated by the degradation of methyl orange solution assisted by H2O2 under UV-Vis light and Vis-only light irradiation, which suggested that Bi25FeO40 crystallites are potential photocatalytic materials.

Applying one-step solvothermal synthesis method, different CdS/TiO2 nanocomposite materials are obtained by changing the ratio of sulfur and titanium sources. The composite structure and morphology are determined by XRD and TEM. Taking the degradation of methyl orange solution as a model reaction, the photocatalytic activity of CdS/TiO2 composite materials is investigated. The results show that the amount of CdS in composite photocatalyst has great effects on the degradation efficiency of methyl orange under the irradiation of sunlight, and the lower pH of reaction system is also needed to sustain the high degradation efficiency for methyl orange.

The TiO2/NiFe2O4 (TN) composite nanoparticles with different mass ratios of NiFe2O4 to TiO2 were prepared via sol-gel method. X-ray diffraction was used to characterize the phase structure of TN. The results indicated that adulterating a smidgen of NiFe2O4 into the TiO2 (about 0.1%) can promote the phase transformation of TiO2, however, when the doping amount of NiFe2O4 surpasses 1%, the introduction of NiFe2O4 can inhibit the growth of TiO2 crystal grain and reduce the size of TiO2 crystal grain. The degradation experiment of methyl orange solution under UV illumination (253.7 nm) showed that the content of NiFe2O4 in the TN was higher, the photocatalytic activity of TN was worse, and the 0.1% TiO2/NiFe2O4 calcined at 400 °C presented the best photocatalytic activity.

Nano anatase TiO2 thin films on glass slide substrates were prepared via a dip-coating method using refluxed sols (RS) as precursors, then dried under infrared light and calcined at 500°C for 30min. The RS sols and TiO2 films were characterized by FT-IR, XRD, TEM, UV-Vis and SEM. The photocatalytic activities of the film samples were tested by the degradation of methyl orange solution with a concentration of 10mg/L under UV light irradiation. The results reveal that the RS sols are flavescent, alkalescent and contain needle-like anatase crystals. The TiO2 films are uniform, compact and transparent, their maximal light transmittance exceed 80% under visible light region. The degradation of methyl orange results illustrate that the RS-6 TiO2 thin films show the best photocatalytic activities, the decoloration rate of the methyl orange solution with RS-6 TiO2 thin films reachs 99% after irradiated 160min under UV light.

The nanometer TiO2 thin membrane on different substrates doped with La3+ was prepared from Ti (OC4H9)4 and La (NO3)3 by Sol-Gel processing using dipping technique. The photocatalytic activity of membrane at different doping concentration in photocatalytic methyl orange was studied. The result showed that both the degraded rate and the optimum concentration depended on the change of doping concentration and substrates. When TiO2 thin membrane was doped with 0.5 La3+ on the substrates of glazed ceramic, aluminum and stainless steel, TiO2 membrane has the maximum degradation rate.
