Methyl Orange Dye

In this work, the photocatalytic performance of Ag3PO4, Nb2O5 and Ag3PO4/Nb2O5 hybrid photocatalysts to degrade methyl orange dye, MO, in an aqueous solution under visible light irradiation was evaluated. The Ag3PO4 and Ag3PO4/Nb2O5 photocatalysts, with various Ag to Nb molar ratios, were prepared using a facile precipitation method. The photocatalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, UV–Visible, X-ray Photoelectron, and Photoluminescence spectroscopies. Upon the addition of Ag3PO4, the band gap energy of Nb2O5 decreased from 3.0 eV to 2.7 eV, indicating the possible use of the Ag3PO4/Nb2O5 hybrid photocatalysts under visible light irradiation. All of the prepared Ag3PO4/Nb2O5 catalysts exhibited higher photocatalytic performance than Ag3PO4 in degrading methyl orange dye under 23-watt visible light irradiation. The Ag3PO4/Nb2O5 catalyst, with a mole ratio of 2:1, exhibited the fastest MO degradation rate of 7.3 × 10−2 min−1, which is twice faster than that of Ag3PO4. The catalyst also shows better stability, as it is reusable for up to six experimental cycles while maintaining its photocatalytic activity above 60%.

Degradation Of Methyl Orange

Nitrogen-loaded TiO2(N-loaded TiO2), a visible-light driven catalyst, was successfully synthesized by the modified sol-gel method. Physical characterizations of the as-prepared catalysts have been performed by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Diffuse reflectance UVvisspectroscopy(DRUVvis), Raman spectroscopyand BETspecific surface areain order to obtain structure-activity relationship. Results from Raman spectroscopy clearly suggested that N atoms were incorporated into the TiO2crystal lattice as evidenced by the vibrational peak of TiN in TiO2-xNx.DR UVvis results also suggested that the nitrogen dopant might be responsible for narrowing the TiO2band gap energy, thus resulting in a shift towards the visiblelight region. Photocatalytic activity of N-loaded TiO2evaluated through the degradation of methyl orange (MO)under visible light irradiation (l> 400 nm) indicated that all N-loaded photocatalysts exhibited significantly higher activities than the unloaded TiO2and Degussa P25 TiO2. According to the results from DR UV-vis, XRD and BET studies, the enhanced photoactivity observed from N-loaded samples might be due to a decrease in TiO2band gap energy and/or changes in chemical and physical properties of the materials upon loading with nitrogen.

Development photoinduced photocatalysts is a significant approach to improve photocatalytic activity and stability. Herein, we successfully prepared Zn[Formula: see text]Cd[Formula: see text]S/CeO2 composites by a facile method. It is found that the Zn[Formula: see text]Cd[Formula: see text]S/CeO2 composites show significant enhancement in photocatalytic activity for methyl orange (MO) degradation under visible and UV light irradiation. The degradation efficiency reaches up to 3.7 times higher than that of pure CeO2 under visible light irradiation. Moreover, the Zn[Formula: see text]Cd[Formula: see text]S/CeO2 samples have almost no loss of photocatalytic activity after five recycles, indicating good photocatalytic stability of the samples. The attractive photocatalytic activity of the Zn[Formula: see text]Cd[Formula: see text]S/CeO2 samples could be attributed to the robust charge carriers transfer and separation.

Hybrid Photocatalyst

The hybrid-photocatalyst was successfully prepared by compositing graphene and TiO2 in this thesis. The properties of the hybrid-photocatalyst was stydited by XRD, SEM. The hotocatalytic activity of the hybrid-photocatalyst was evaluated by decolorization of acid yellow dye solution under visible light irradiation. The result shows that the main phase of the hybrid-photocatalyst is antase TiO2. The effects of different titanium carbon ratio, photocatalysis time, catalyst dosage and pH on the photocatalytic for acid yellow dye are discussed. Under the conditions that titanium carbon ratio 100:50, the photocatalytic time 120 min, catalyst dosing concentration 0.1g / L and the optimum pH 8, the treatment of methyl orange dye is the best.

AbstractMonoclinic BiVO4 photocatalyst was successfully synthesized by hydrothermal method under appropriate temperature. The photocatalytic performance of BiVO4 was improved by calcining at appropriate temperature. The structural and morphological properties of the synthesized BiVO4 photocatalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. It is confirmed that the photocatalytic activity of the prepared catalysts was evaluated by the photodegradation of RhB under visible-light irradiation. BiVO4 calcined under appropriate temperature exhibited higher photocatalytic activity than uncalcined BiVO4 under visible light irradiation because calcination might effectively increases the purity of monoclinic bismuth vanadate.

Abstract In this paper, the highly stable Ag/CdS-WO2 nanocomposite was fabricated by a facile and capping agent-free hydrothermal technique. The fabricated Ag doped CdS-WO2 nanocomposite were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and UV-vis diffuse reflectance (DRS) spectroscopy. The photocatalytic performance of synthesized photocatalysts was evaluated for the photodegradation of rhodamine B (Rh B) under visible light irradiation (VLI). The parameters used for the optimization of the photocatalyst were pH, catalyst dose, oxidant dose, and irradiation time. Based on this, a possible reaction mechanism for the enhancement of photocatalytic activity of Ag/CdS-WO2 has been proposed. Hence, we have a tendency to believe it might be a promising material that may be used for the photodegradation of organic pollutants present in wastewater.
