Morphology And Structure

Wormhole-shaped F-doped TiO2/Ti photoelectrodes were prepared by microarc oxidation method in NaF solution. The morphology and structure of the photoelectrodes were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF). It was found that F-doped TiO2/Ti photoelectrodes were porous and composed of anatase TiO2. The photocatalytic properties of F-doped TiO2/Ti photoelectrodes were investigated by photodiscoloration rate of Rhodamine B(Rh.B) under different conditions. All results showed that the photoelectrodes prepared at voltage of 160V, NaF concentration of 0.01mol/L and oxidation time of 10min have optimal photocatalytic performance. Rh.B was almost completely removed by F-doped TiO2/Ti photoelectrodes after 120min under the illumination of artificial visible light.

In order to enhance hole/electron separation and charge transfer in photocatalysts, the heterostructured g-C3N4/CoAPO-5 hybrids materials were synthesized via a simple grinding method and were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The optical properties of g-C3N4/CoAPO-5 hybrids materials were measured by ultraviolet-visible diffuse-reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), photoluminescence (PL) spectra and ultraviolet-visible absorption (UV-Vis) spectra. Under visible-light illumination, this work shows the heterogeneous g-C3N4/CoAPO-5 hybrids present a superior photocatalytic activity.

Abstract Photocatalytic activity of the natural semiconducting sphalerite mineral from Abuni, Nasarawa State, Nigeria was studied for the degradation of methylene blue (MB). Natural Sphalerite as a visible – light responsive photocatalyst was characterized by X ray diffraction (XRD), X ray fluorescence (XRF) and surface area analysis. To further enhance the photocatalytic activity of natural Sphalerite, the chemical composition of the sphalerite was varied via leaching with oxalic acids. The photocatalytic activity of the Natural sphalerite, leached sphalerite and as well as the calcined leachates was tested for MB degradation under visible light illumination. The result shows a very high percentage of MB degradation by natural sphalerite after 60mintues of light irradiation time. A composite of ZnO -α –Fe2O3 -ϒ-Fe2O3 with traces amount of MoO and MnO2 was synthesized by calcination of the obtained leachates at 1000°C for 4hours. The photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue dye follows pseudo first order kinetics.

Here, we report simple and efficient method to synthesize CuO rods using copper acetate, hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solutions via hydrothermal process followed by calcination. The Field emission scanning electron microscopy images revealed that synthesized CuO rods were 2–4μm thick with several micrometers long and grown into high density. The as-synthesized CuO rods were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), UV-visible spectroscopy and Energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDS) which confirmed the formation of highly crystalline, single phase pure CuO rods with monoclinic structures. The photocatalytic capability of synthesized CuO rods was executed by monitoring the degradation of methylene blue (MB) dye under visible light illumination. The results showed MB dye degraded about ~70% in just 100 min and followed first order reaction kinetics with rate constant k = 0.01123 mint.1 and R2 = 0.9880.

The composite CdSe/K2La2Ti3O10 photocatalyst was synthesized via a precipitation method. The structure of the photocatalyst was determined by powder X-ray diffraction. The photocatalytic properties for organic matter degradation of the photocatalyst were examined under visible light irradiation, using rhodamine B as the goal degradation content and halogen lamp (λ > 420 nm) for the light source. The results show that when the pH of the rhodanmine B at 7, initial concentration of 10 mg/L and every 250 mL solution catalyst dosage is 0.25 g, and the degradation rate of rhodamine B for 4 hours was 50%.

The NiOx/Bi2WO6 photocatalyst with p-n heterojunction structure was synthesized. And the samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-vis DRS). It was found that the RhB degradation rate with NiOx/Bi2WO6 was 1.62 times as great as that with the Bi2WO6 under visible light (λ>400 nm) by the photocatalytic measurements. The enhanced photocatalytic performance of the NiOx/Bi2WO6 sample was attributed to the improved separation efficiency of photogenerated hole-electron pairs generated by the p-n heterojunction between Bi2WO6 and NiOx.

Novel visible-light responded aluminosilicophosphate-5 (SAPO-5)/g-C3N4 composite has been easily constructed by thermal polymerization for the mixture of SAPO-5, NH4Cl, and dicyandiamide. The photocatalytic activity of SAPO-5/g-C3N4 is evaluated by degrading RhB (30 mg/L) under visible light illumination (λ > 420 nm). The effects of SAPO-5 incorporation proportion and initial RhB concentration on the photocatalytic performance have been discussed in detail. The optimized SAPO-5/g-C3N4 composite shows promising degradation efficiency which is 40.6% higher than that of pure g-C3N4. The degradation rate improves from 0.007 min−1 to 0.022 min−1, which is a comparable photocatalytic performance compared with other g-C3N4-based heterojunctions for dye degradation. The migration of photo-induced electrons from g-C3N4 to the Al site of SAPO-5 should promote the photo-induced electron-hole pairs separation rate of g-C3N4 efficiently. Furthermore, the redox reactions for RhB degradation occur on the photo-induced holes in the g-C3N4 and Al sites in SAPO-5, respectively. This achievement not only improves the photocatalytic activity of g-C3N4 efficiently, but also broadens the application of SAPOs in the photocatalytic field.

A visible-light responsive CdS/ZnO nanocomposite photocatalyst was successfully synthesized by precipitation of CdS nanoparticles, using Cd (NO3)2 and Na2S as starting materials, on ZnO nanoparticles and then calcined at 400°C for 2 hours. The effects of the mole ratio of CdS and ZnO in the composites on their phase, morphology, and surface area were investigated by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), Brunauer Emmett Teller method (BET), respectively. The photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue solution in the presence of composite products under visible-light irradiation was investigated. The results showed that the mole ratio of CdS and ZnO played a significant role on photocatalytic performance. The highest photocatalytic activity was obtained from the CdS/ZnO nanocomposite with mole ratio of 1:4, which is higher than that of pure CdS and pure ZnO.

A silicon dioxide/carbon nano onions/titanium dioxide (SiO2/CNOs/TiO2) composite was synthesized by a simple sol-gel method and characterized by the methods of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electronic microscope (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TG), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectra (UV-Vis DRS). In this work, the photocatalytic activity of the SiO2/CNOs/TiO2 photocatalyst was assessed by testing the degradation rate of Rhodamine B (RhB) under visible light. The results indicated that the samples exhibited the best photocatalytic activity when the composite consisted of 3% CNOs and the optimum dosage of SiO2/CNOs/TiO2(3%) was 1.5 g/L as evidenced by the highest RhB degradation rate (96%). The SiO2/CNOs/TiO2 composite greatly improved the quantum efficiency of TiO2. This work provides a new option for the modification of subsequent nanocomposite oxide nanoparticles.
