In this paper, the Fe3+ doped rutile phase TiO2 nanotubes arrays (NTAs) were prepared in a low temperature water-assistant crystallization method. It is noteworthy that the Fe3+ doping hardly hinders either the crystallization of rutile TiO2 NTAs or the highly-ordered nanotubular morphologies. Moreover, Fe3+ did not form other compound impurities, which indicated that Fe3+ substitute Ti4+ into the lattice of TiO2. With the introduction of Fe3+, the light absorption range of TiO2 NTAs extends from the ultraviolet band to the visible light range. Photocatalytic testing results indicate that Fe3+ doped TiO2 NTAs can effectively improve the degradation rate of methyl orange aqueous solution in visible light, and the TiO2 NTAs with 0.2 mol/L Fe3+ doping exhibits the highest photocatalytic degradation efficiency.

Pure phase of Yb3+/Er3+ co-doped β-NaYF4 micron tubes with up-conversion fluorescence were synthesized by hydrothermal method at 180°C for 24 hours. For better utilization of sunlight and improving photocatalytic efficiency of organic dyes, TiO2 nanoparticles were modified by combining with β-NaYF4 micron tubes to form TiO2/NaYF4 composite. Three different combination methods were studied and the photocatalytic activities of the corresponding samples were tested by measuring the degradation rate of rhodamine aqueous solution under illumination of simulated sunlight. The composite that TiO2 nanoparticles were well dispersed on the surface of NaYF4 shows better photocatalytic activity than other composites and was near twice efficiency of pure TiO2 nanoparticles. The reason may be due to the high activity of heterostructure for TiO2/NaYF4 composite that will make it easy for sunlight absorption and photocatalytic degradation.

A series of photocatalyst Bi1-xLaxVO4 (0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7) powders were prepared by hydrothermal method. The composition, structure, morphology and photocatalytic activity of the samples were researched by means of modern testing techniques. Bi1-xLaxVO4 showed excellent visible-light sensitivity and photocatalytic activities. The degradation rate of sample with x = 0.5 on rhodamine B reached 90 %, which was much higher than that of pure BiVO4.

Doped Titanium Dioxide

Nanocrystalline tungsten oxide doped titanium dioxide (WOx-TiO2) powders were prepared by TiCl4 hydrolysis and characterized by XRD, XPS, UV–Vis absorption spectra and TEM. Results showed that WOx not only hindered the growth of TiO2 particles but also greatly increased the transformation temperature (>800 oC) from anatase to rutile during sintering; the dominant fraction of tungsten oxides was non-stoichiometric tungsten oxide (WxOy) with Wn+ (4<n<6), which could easily substitute Ti4+ in the lattice of TiO2. The light absorption band of TiO2 changed from the near UV to the visible light range (2.68 eV in 1.0 %WOx-TiO2) because of the tungsten impurity energy level induced by WxTi1-xO2. The photocatalysis experiments demonstrated that the MB in aqueous solution was successfully degraded within 1h using WOx-TiO2 with an optimal WOx dosage of 1% under visible light irradiation.

Degradation Effect

Over the last decade, interest in the utilization of solar energy for photocatalysis treatment processes has taken centre-stage. Researchers had focused on doping TiO2 with SiO2 to obtain an efficient degradation rate of various types of target pollutants both under UV and visible-light irradiation. In order to further improve this degradation effect, some researchers resorted to incorporate plasmonic metal nanoparticles such as silver and gold into the combined TiO2-SiO2 to fully optimize the TiO2-SiO2’s potential in the visible-light region. This article focuses on the challenges in utilizing TiO2 in the visible-light region, the contribution of SiO2 in enhancing photocatalytic activities of the TiO2-SiO2 photocatalyst, and the ability of plasmonic metal nanoparticles (Ag and Au) to edge the TiO2-SiO2 photocatalyst toward an efficient solar photocatalyst.

ZnO-TiO2 composite nanofibers were prepared by using the electrospun fibers of PVP/ZnSO4/ Ti(OiPr)4 composite as precursor, and through calcination treatment. The chemical components, structures and morphology were characterized by FT-IR, XRD, SEM, respectively. The photocatalytic activities of the catalysts were investigated by photocatalystic degradation of Rhodamine B under visible-light irradiation. It was found that the ZnO-TiO2 composite nanofibers photocatalyst calcined at 600 °C which was mixed the anatase phase and rutile phase, showed higher photocatalytic activities than those calcined at other two temperatures. This result was expected as a new morphology of photocatalysts to degrade the organic pollutants in the sun.

Cu(OH)2/N-TiO2compound heterojunction photcocatalyst was prepared via a facile precipitation method. The as-synthesized samples were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission transmission electron microscope (FE-SEM), ultraviolet-visible light (UV-vis) absorbance spectra technologies. The results suggest the as-obtained samples are spherical structure with the diameter of approximately 10-20 nm, the absorbance intensity in the visible light range increased with the amount of deposited increased. Photocatalytic activities of samples were investigated under visible light and methyl orange (MO) acted as simulation pollutants. The catalytic ablity of the synthesized photocatalysts under visible light irradiation showed higher than that of N-P25(TiO2). The remarkable photocatalytic activities are due to the high-quality of composites structure and the driving force for electron transfer in nanoparticle.
