In this work, F-Sb codoped SnO2film electrode material has been prepared and used as an anode on titanium (Ti) substrate for degradation of methyl orange. The emphasis is laid on the effect of univalent cations fluoride doped during preparation of F-Sn codoped SnO2composites by sol gel method. The facts show that univalent cations fluoride could affects the electro-catalytic degradation rate of methyl orange by F-Sb codoped composite film on the Ti electrode. A promotion to the degradation rates of methyl orange could be observed when KF or NH4F was used as codopant but other fluoride codopant such as LiF, NaF or HF could slow the methyl orange degradation. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and x-ray photo-electron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to study structures and composition of the anode surface.

A co-sol-gel method was used to prepare SiO2-doped TiO2. The amount of ethyl silicate added into the precursor, calcination temperature and time, adsorption equilibrium, and photocatalytic activity of the material were investigated as the factor of degradation efficiency. With the optimum composition of the precursor, the prepared gel calcinated at 500 oC for 3 h showed the highest photocatalytic activity. After 30 min stirring to reach adsorption equilibrium, adsorption contributed less than 2% to the total decoloration of methyl orange on the SiO2-doped TiO2 material. Photocatalytic methyl orange degradation continued with increasing irradiation time. Methyl orange degradation rates after 30 min and 100 min were 31.1% and 96.9%, respectively.

PEG1000 was used as template to prepare porous TiO2 film by sol-gel method. The functions of applied potential and concentration of NaHCO3 to the photoelectrocatalytic degradation of methyl orange on porous and smooth TiO2 films were investigated. Methyl orange degradation rate has two optimal values at the applied potential of 0.8 V and 1.8 V. The addition of PEG may have negative effect on photoelectrocatalytic activity of TiO2 film. The degradation rate increases with increasing NaHCO3 concentration from 0 up to 0.05 mol/l, and then it declines after further increase of electrolyte concentration. After 100 min of reaction, the degradation rates on the films prepared without and with PEG addition are 63.78% and 65.22%, respectively.

In this work, samarium and antimony (Sm–Sb) codoped tin oxide (SnO2) films have been successfully prepared on titanium (Ti) substrate by a facile sol gel method. The samples were characterized by X–ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The composite film materials were used as anode for the electro-degradation of methyl orange solution. Two effective factors of electro–catalytic properties namely, the content of Sm in the SnO2 samples and the calcination temperature, have been optimized based on the electro-degradation experiments. A moderately calcination temperature of 873 K and 1.0% Sm doping owned the best performance. The smaller grain sizes and optical band gap of the SnO2 by introduction of the Sm improved electro-catalytic activity.

This paper aims at the investigation of photocatalytic properties of titanium dioxide coatings covering on the surfaces of long blue-emitting afterglow CaAl2O4:Eu2+, Nd3+ elaborated by a sol-gel method. Morphologies and microstructures of the coatings were observed mainly by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The photocatalytic behavior of the TiO2-base surfaces was evaluated by the degradation of methyl orange (MO) solution. It suggested that a layer of TiO2 film mounted on the phosphor particles successfully. Also, the TiO2 coatings had remained its photocatalytic role on the as-prepared sample even after the light source was removed. The inner long blue-emitting afterglow had released blue afterglow after removing light source and allowed for reactive TiO2 surfaces to be held for the removal of methyl orange.

The present study is directed to clarify the influence of carbon doping on the degradation of methyl orange. TiO2 nanotubes were prepared by anodizing titanium foils in a two electrode configuration bath with titanium foil as the anode and platinum as the counter electrode. The electrochemical bathconsists of 1 M Na2SO4 with 0.7 g ammonium fluoride, NH4F. The nanotubes obtained were further doped with carbon via in-situ and ex-situ method. Incorporation of carbon on TiO2 via in-situ method is accomplished during the anodization process by introducing oxalic acid into electrolyte while theex-situ doping involves carbon incorporation into pre-fabricated TiO2 nanotube via flame annealing using carbon blackN330. Characterization such as Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis (EDX), and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) are used to determine the surfacemorphology, composition of dopants, and phases exists. Well ordered nanotube with good adherence and smooth surface was obtained for both methods. When the oxide was annealed, X-ray diffraction analysis revealed the presence of anatase and rutile phase. The photocatalytic properties of thepure TiO2 and carbon doped TiO2 were tested for methyl orange degradation and the result indicated that the in-situ doped TiO2 has much better degradation than the ex-situ and pure TiO2. The percentage of methyl orange degradation for in-situ was 20% and 41% higher than ex-situ doped TiO2 and pure TiO2, respectively.

The formation of cobalt (Co) doped zinc oxide (ZnO) as photocatalyst for photodegradation of methyl orange dye was investigated. The ZnO photocatalyst was produced with different concentration of Co by using sol gel method. The hexagonal wurtzite and zincite structure were successfully formed through this method. The morphological observation of nanorod and nanodisk structure formed was done by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM). While, the structural properties of Co doped ZnO were identified by X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy. The degradation performance of methyl orange was assessed and performance of photocatalytic activity was correlated to the amount of dopant level and oxygen vacancy of photocatalyst. There is an optimum amount of Co that can be doped into ZnO nanostructure in order to provide better degradation of methyl orange.

Nb-doped TiO2 powders with different concentrations of Nb have been synthesized by a sol-gel method and characterized by a series of technologies including X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and UV-vis spectroscopy. The photocatalytic activity of Nb-doped TiO2 is evaluated by degradation efficiency of methyl orange in aqueous solution. The results indicate that the photocatalytic activity of Nb-doped TiO2 synthesized with a Nb/Ti molar ratio of 5% is higher than that of TiO2 under the visible light.
