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.

TiO2/VOxnanofibers were synthesized via electrospinning and dipping technologies. They increased the photocatalytic property by reducing the recombination rate of electrons and holes at the surface of TiO2. The composition, structure and morphology were characterized. The effect of annealing temperature to the dendritic structure and their photocatalytic property were demonstrated. The results showed dendritic TiO2/VOxnanofiers were obtained via dipping in vanadium sol, which was annealed at 550°C in 90% Ar/10% H2atmosphere. The average diameter of the samples was 354±42nm. Both the size and the number of dendritic structure were increased as the annealing temperature was rising. The degradation rate of methyl orange (5mg/L) by as-prepared TiO2/VOxnanofibers was 76.4% after exposure under UV light for 120min, which was 25.7% higher than which annealed in air atmosphere.

The present study compares the photocatalytic decolorization ability of Fe-doped ZnO modified both natural zeolite and montmorillonite towards aqueous solution of organic dyes such as methylene blue and methyl orange under UV light irradiation. Both photocatalysts were synthesized using co-precipitation method and characterized by X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray, Fourier-transform infrared absorption, and electron spin resonance spectroscopy. The results showed that the photocatalytic efficiency is better in the presence of montmorillonite compared to natural zeolite.

Paralled flaw precipitation method has been employed to synthesize nanostructured ZnO. The prepared photocatalyst was characterized by BET, XRD. The paper reveals that Methyl Orange (MO) can be decolorized effectively in ZnO suspension system under UV irradiation. The optimal loading of photocatalyst in our experimental condition for the decolorization of MO is 1g/L. The present study, on the base of Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism, illustrates that the decolorization reaction is a pseudo first order kinetic model with the limiting rate constant of 8.48×10-2 mgL-1min-1 and equilibrium adsorption constant 0.335 L/mg, respectively.

The photocatalytic activity of eco-friendly zinc oxide doped silica nanocomposites, synthesized via a co-precipitation method followed by heat-treatment at 300, 600, and 900 °C is investigated. The samples have been characterized by employing X-ray diffraction method, and further analyzed using the Rietveld Refinement method. The samples show a space group P63mc with hexagonal structure. The prepared composites are tested for their photocatalytic activities for the degradation of methyl orange-based water pollutants under ultra-violet (UV) irradiation using a 125 W mercury lamp. A systematic analysis of parameters such as the irradiation time, pH value, annealing temperatures, and the concentration of sodium hydroxide impacting the degradation of the methyl orange (MO) is carried out using UV-visible spectroscopy. The ZnO.SiO2 nanocomposite annealed at 300 °C at a pH value of seven shows a maximum photo-degradation ability (~98.1%) towards methyl orange, while the photo-degradation ability of ZnO.SiO2 nanocomposites decreases with annealing temperature (i.e., for 600 and 900 °C) due to the aspect ratio. Moreover, it is seen that with increment in the concentration of the NaOH (i.e., from 1 to 3 g), the photo-degradation of the dye component is enhanced from 20.9 to 53.8%, whereas a reverse trend of degradation ability is observed for higher concentrations.

The comparison of photocatalytic decolorization of Methylene Blue and Methyl Orange using ZnO Semiconductor under UV-LED radiation has been studied at varied pH. ZnO have been synthesized using co-precipitation method. The Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) result showed that the synthesized ZnO has a hexagonal structure with the particle size range 0.125 to 0.5 µm. The BET isotherm characterization showed the synthesized ZnO has a specific surface area (SBET), mesoporous volume and micropore volume of 60.20 m2/g, 0.541 cm3/g and 0.02 cm3/g, respectively. The observation of the effect of pH to the photocatalytic activity showed that the highest removal percentage occurred at pH 9 with the value of 95.64% for methylene blue and occurred at pH 3 with the value of 6.236% for methyl orange.

We have synthesized layered Ni(OH)2via a facile liquid-phase precipitation method. NiO with a micro/nano-structure was obtained via calcining Ni(OH)2precursor at 350°C. The as-prepared NiO was utilized as a support to load Ag nanocrystals. SEM and TEM observations showed that Ag nanoparticles were homogeneously distributed onto NiO support and the Ag nanoparticles have sizes of 4-5 nm. The photocatalytic activity of NiO-loaded Ag was investigated by the photodegradation of methylene blue (MB) under the irradiation of visible light. The results suggest that the loading of Ag nanoparticles can enhance the photo-degradation performance of pristine NiO.

The nanoMgO and active nanoSiO2 were prepared by the special liquid-phase precipitation method. Subsequently, Chrysotile nanotube was prepared of by hydrothermal method using the nanoMgO and active nanoSiO2 as precursors at 220°C under 23atm in basic solution. The surface topographies and composition of the Chrysotile nanotube were characterized by XRD and TEM. Then, the dispersive property of particles modified by oleic acid was analyzed by IR. The tribological properties) were explored by adding the modified nanomagnesium silicate hydroxide to 2# lithic-grease after dispersing uniformly. Compared with the blank sample, it can significantly reduce the friction traces of the metal surface, improve extreme pressure performance. The friction coefficient is still stable when the temperature is raised during the friction. Nanotube power can be adhered and spread on the worn metal surface. Thus self-repairing coating forms on the worn surface.
