TiO2 composite photocatalytic film was fixed on steel by by plasma electrolytic oxidation. The microstructure of the composite film were investigated by XRD, EDS and SEM. The photocatalytic properties of the film were studied by testing the photocatalytic degradation of Rhodamine B. The results showed that the ceramic film was composed of A-TiO2 and R-TiO2. The EDS revealed that the film consisted Ti, O, Si and Fe elements. The SEM pictures showed that the film surface was rough and porous. The photocatalytic experiment results showed that the the TiO2 composite film fixed on steel by plasma electrolytic oxidation exhibited relatively high photocatalytic photodegradation of Rhodamine B, whose removal ratio reached 90% in 2 hours, irradiation of ultraviolet light.

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.

Bi2O3 has successfully been synthesized using precipitation method with sintering temperature variations of 400oC, 450o C, 500o C, 550o C, and 600o C. Crystallinity property of resulting Bi2O3 powder has also been tested with XRD and morphology properties were tested with SEM. Meanwhile, photocatalytic properties were tested by using it to degrade Rhodamine B under sunlight. Results of XRD tests show that differences in sintering temperature affect crystallite size. Increases in sintering temperature between 400o C and 500o C result in greater crystallite size, whereas sintering temperature between 550o C and 600oC result in smaller crystallite size. Results of SEM tests show that resulting Bi2O3 has rod-like structure, While results of degradation tests show that increases in sintering temperature enhances photocatalytic activities of Bi2O3, as evident with Bi2O3 undergoing sintering at 600oC was able to degrade Rhodamine B with 56.74% effectiveness and degradation rate of 0.007 ppm/min.

In this paper, the one-dimensional diffusion model about nano-TiO2 photocatalytic degradation of formaldehyde process was established ,through analyzing nano-TiO2 photocatalytic mechanism, and verifying the accuracy of the model by the experimental data combined with Fick's law. According to this model, it concluded that the degradation rate of the formaldehyde is related to the height of purification apparatus, and when the height is smaller, the degradation rate is greater. Within the same cleaning time (t = 200min), when the height is 0.15m, the rate of degradation of formaldehyde is 99%; when the height is 0.3m, the rate of degradation of formaldehyde is 88%; while the height is 0.7m , the rate is only 32%.

Abstract A constant current electrodeposition approach was employed to prepare Cu2O/TiO2 nanocomposite thin film. X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman, ultraviolet visible light spectrophotometer (UV-Vis), and photoluminescence (PL) measurements were used to characterize and analyze the thin film microstructure, surface morphology, and photoelectric properties. The effect of annealing treatment on the thin film properties is discussed. The response surface methodology (RSM) was employed to optimize the Rhodamine B (RhB) photocatalytic degradation by thin films, and the quadratic multinomial mathematical model was established. The photocatalytic degradation process of RhB was also studied. The results indicate that the prepared Cu2O thin film was of high purity, with a (111) crystal plane preferred orientation. The average particle diameter was approximately 100–200 nm, and the absorbing boundary was approximately 600 nm. After annealing treatment, the absorbing boundary and open-circuit voltage increased, and Cu2O thin film exhibited an obvious absorbance response in the visible-light range. The established model has better fitness and higher reliability, and the R2 value of established quadratic model is 0.9818. The optimal degradation conditions were obtained by RSM. Under optimum conditions, the RhB degradation rate could reach 98.4% in 3 h and the total organic carbon (TOC) removal rate was 48.2%. Recycling results reveal that RhB degradation rate can still reach 94.5% after eight cycles.

The photocatalytic degradation process of waste water was usually influenced by many factors, such as different ions, addition reagent and pH value. In order to investigate the effect of ions strength in the photocatalytic process, the anions and cations were systematically investigated with P25 TiO2 photocatalyst with Rhodamine B (RB) as waste water in this work. The results showed that the cations of low valence showed minimum negative effect on degradation rate and the most anions showed enhance the degradation rate of RB. The ions strength showed random in the photocatalytic process.

Quasi-monodispersed SnO2nanocrystal microspheres were successfully fabricated by a solvothermal route with the assistance of poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG, Mn=6000) template. The as-prepared SnO2microspheres were well characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, and FT-IR. The photocatalytic activity for Rh B on the SnO2microspheres was also investigated under UV irradiation. The experimental results show that the quasi-monodispersed SnO2microspheres with diameter about 1.3µm are self-assembled by large quantity of crystallites less than 10 nm. The SnO2microspheres have a good photocatalytic property, as evidenced by the result that over 95% of the Rh B decomposed over the SnO2nanocrystal microspheres within 180 min. The high degradation rate of rhodamine B (Rh B) on the as-synthesized SnO2nanocrystal microspheres can be attributed to the small size of crystals.
