In this work, sulfur-doped (S-doped) TiO2 with the (001) face exposed was synthesized by thermal chemical vapor deposition at 180 or 250 °C using S/Ti molar ratios R S/Ti of 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. The S-doped samples synthesized at 250 °C exhibit a significantly improved photocatalytic performance. More precisely, S-doping has the following effects on the material: (1) S can adopt different chemical states in the samples. Specifically, it exists in the form of S2− replacing O2− at a ratio of R S/Ti = 1 and also in the form of S6+ replacing Ti4+ at R S/Ti ≥ 2. As a result, S-doping causes a lattice distortion, because the ionic radii of S2− and S6+ differ from that of the O2− and Ti4+ ions. (2) S-doping increases the adsorption coefficient A e for methylene blue (MB) from 0.9% to 68.5% due to the synergistic effects of the oxygen vacancies, increased number of surface chemical adsorption centers as a result of SO4 2− adsorption on the TiO2 surface and the larger pore size. (3) S-doping increases the MB degradation rate from 6.9 × 10−2 min−1 to 18.2 × 10−2 min−1 due to an increase in the amount of •OH and •O2− radicals.

In this work, sulfur (S) doped (001)-face exposed TiO2 was synthesized via the vapor-thermal method at 180 °C or 250 °C, with an S/Ti molar ratio R S/Ti of 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. The S-doped samples at 250 °C exhibited significantly improved photocatalytic performance. The effects of S doping were as follows: (1) The S element exhibits different chemical states in the samples with different R S/Ti.

Abstract In the present study, binary mixtures of sodium N-lauroylglutamate (SLG) and dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride (DTAC) or dodecylbetaine (BS-12) were examined for their synergistic effect. The surface chemical properties of the compound systems with different molar ratios were determined by the regular solution theory. Results indicated that both compound systems show synergistic effects of overall synergy, in which the SLG/DTAC system exhibited a better activity than the SLG/BS-12 system. The aggregation number of SLG compound systems was smaller than that of single surfactants, and the difference of the proportion of the two surfactants had little effect on the aggregation number of compound systems.

The co-generation of C-doping and oxygen vacancies (OVs) in Bi2WO6 nanosheets was achieved by a graphene oxide-mediated hydrothermal method. The photocatalytic performance was highly promoted in NO removal with the synergistic effects of C-doping and OVs.

Surface chemical states of GaN , AlGaN and InGaN by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition, and the influence of different dopants are studied with X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). The results show that for most of the samples the N 1s peak can be fitted with a dominant GaN peak and a small N – H peak, while Ga 3d can be deconvoluted into three peaks from elemental Ga , GaN and Ga 2 O 3. Si -doping appears to have small influence on the surface chemical states of GaN while the influence of Mg -doping appears larger. In addition to a change in the component intensities, Mg -doping also causes the N 1s and Ga 3d peaks to broaden. The ternary AlGaN sample shows aluminum surface segregation, while the undoped InGaN shows indium surface deficiency.

Ce/Mo metal oxides with different Ce/Mo molar ratios were synthesized via dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) method for the first time and applied as efficient photocatalysts. The morphology and physicochemical properties of the synthesized samples were characterized by XRD, SEM, BET and XPS. Ce/Mo metal oxides synthesized with Ce(NO3)3·6H2O and (NH4)6Mo7O24·4H2O molar ratio of 4:1 exhibited more surface chemical adsorption of oxygen, which were beneficial to the photocatalytic performance. The degradation rate of 1000 mL (50 mg/L) methyl orange could reach 80% within 18 min under UV-light radiation. Ce/Mo metal oxides exhibited excellent photocatalytic performance and had potential application prospect in dye wastewater treatment.

Developing economical and robust catalysts for the highly selective and stable destruction of chlorinated volatile organic compounds (CVOCs) is a great challenge. Here, hollow nanosphere-like VOx/CeO2 catalysts with different V/Ce molar ratios were fabricated and adopted for the destruction of1,2–dichloroethane (1,2–DCE). The V0.05Ce catalyst possessed superior catalytic activity, reaction selectivity, and chlorine resistance owing to a large number of oxygen vacancies, excellent low-temperature redox ability, and chemically adsorbed oxygen (O− and O2−) species mobility. Typical chlorinated byproducts (CHCl3, CCl4, C2HCl3, and C2H3Cl3) derived from the cleavage of C–Cl and C–C bonds of 1,2–DCE were detected, which could be effectively inhibited by the abundant acid sites and the strong interactions of VOx species with CeO2. The presence of water vapor benefited the activation and deep destruction of 1,2–DCE over V0.05Ce owing to the efficient removal of Cl species from the catalyst surface.
