In this paper, Bi2O3 and Fe3+-doped Bi2O3 photocatalysts with different molar ratio of Bi /Fe (nBi:nFe =100:1,2,3,4) was prepared by paralled flaw co-precipitation method. The prepared photocatalysts were characterized by Brunauer-Emmet Teller (BET) method, X-ray diffraction( XRD) and UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The results show that 3% Fe3+-Bi2O3 prepared has the highest BET surface area, pore volume, the smallest pore size and the particle average size. 3% Fe3+-Bi2O3 exhibits the best photocatalytic activity. The results of further experiments show that the specific surface area, UV-Vis diffuse reflectance all play an important role in promotion of photocatalytic activity of Bi2O3 nanostructure.

Nanorod-shaped zinc stannate Zn2SnO4 (ZTO) with great photocatalytic activity was successfully synthesized via a co-precipitation method. In this paper, a strong base (NaOH) and a weak base (Na2CO3) are adopted as precipitants in order to form the precursor precipitate. The titration endpoints are fixed at pH6, pH8, and pH10 in order to adjust the solution precipitant quantity. Dependent variables above were not seen in other research before. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results show that the powders synthesized were ZTO nano-particles. Photocatalytic activity of the powders was measured utilizing a photocatalytic degradation reaction with methylene blue (MB) solution. The smallest particles were obtained by utilizing NaOH as a precipitant and adjusting pH to 6. Based on TEM images, the ZTO had nano-rod particle morphology. However, when precipitant Na2CO3 was utilized, particles agglomerated together, reducing specific surface area. Hence, the former sample shows better photocatalytic activity than the latter one. Consequently, powders titrated to pH6 by precipitant NaOH and calcined for 1 hour will form partly nano-rod particles with slight agglomeration, increasing the specific surface area of ZTO and bringing about the best photocatalytic characteristics.

Fe- and Co-doped ZnO with various doping concentrations have been synthesized by co-precipitation method in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate as anionic surfactant. The obtained sample powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared absorption, UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, electron spin resonance spectroscopy and Brunauer-Emmet-Teller (BET) method. The photocatalytic activity was evaluated by observing the decolorization of methylene blue under UV light irradiation. The results revealed that the addition of a dopant atom significantly enhanced the photocatalytic activity.

In this work, the catalyst silver phosphate (Ag3PO[Formula: see text] with different initial ratios of Ag[Formula: see text] and PO[Formula: see text] in aqueous solution was synthesized by a simple precipitation method from AgNO3 and NH4H2PO4 which were used as the precursor. After that, the prepared samples were characterized by different techniques such as field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-DRS) and decomposition evolution of rhodamine B (RhB) solution. The results indicate that the initial ratios of Ag[Formula: see text]/PO[Formula: see text] in aqueous solution can modify the morphology and also it can significantly affect the photocatalytic performance. During photocatalytic process, the rich Ag[Formula: see text] ion Ag3PO4 can form the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of Ag nanoparticles, which inhibit the reduction of Ag3PO4 resulting in higher photocatalytic activity and stability.

BiVO4/TiO2 composite photocatalysts were successfully synthesised via different methods, and the physical and photophysical properties of the as-prepared photocatalysts were fully characterised by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, field-emission transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, photoluminescence spectroscopy and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area analysis. Methylene blue was selected as model pollutant to investigate the photocatalytic activity of BiVO4/TiO2 composite materials. The results reveal that BiVO4/TiO2 fabricated by different methods exhibits higher photocatalytic activity than pure BiVO4 and TiO2, and the coprecipitated BiVO4/TiO2 composite shows the best photocatalytic activity. The diffuse reflectance spectroscopy results demonstrated that the 20 wt-% coprecipitated BiVO4/TiO2 exhibited a significant, broad spectrum response not only between 400 and 500 nm but also from 500 to 800 nm wavelength.
