Nano-TiO2 photocatalyst powders were prepared through the sol-gel method and supercritical fluid drying(SCFD). The TG-DTA、XRD、particle size distribution technique、SEM were used to characterize the hyperfine TiO2 particles.The lanthanum-doped TiO2 with different mass percentage of La3+ were compared with pure TiO2 when used as photocatalyst in degradation of methyl orange. The best catalytic activity was observed with 0.02(mol)%La-TiO2. Photocatalytic efficiency of the 0.02(mol)%La- TiO2 is improved by 30.79% comparing to pure TiO2.

Nano-TiO2 co-doped with lanthanum and iron photocatalyst powders were prepared with the sol-gel method and supercritical fluid drying(SCFD). The XRD、particle size distribution technique、TEM were used to characterize the hyperfine TiO2 particles.The TiO2 co-doped with different mass percentage of La3+ and Fe3+ were compared with pure TiO2 when being used as photocatalyst in degradation of methyl orange.The best catalytic activity was observed by TiO2 co-doped with 0.02%La-0.05%Fe(mol).Photocatalytic efficiency of the TiO2 co-doped with 0.02%La and 0.05%Fe is 1.625 times the pure TiO2.

ZnO/SnO2 nanocomposite powder were prepared by coprecipitation method with SnCl4·5H2O, ZnNO3·6H2O, HCl, NaOH as raw materials. Influence of different mol ratio of ZnO/SnO2 on the photocatalytic activity of ZnO/SnO2 nanocomposite powder was researched by the degradation of methyl orange as a reaction model. The particle size and dispersion of ZnO/SnO2 powder was characterized by transmission electron microscope(TEM). The results show that the photocatalytic activity of ZnO/SnO2 nanocomposite powder was increased significantly when compounded by SnO2, the photoactivating activity of ZnO/SnO2 powder starts increasing and then decreasing when the ratio of ZnO/SnO2 decreases. When ZnO:SnO2 is the ratio of 4:1(mol ratio),the photocatalytic activity of ZnO/SnO2 nanocomposite powder is the best and the degradation rate of methyl orange is 42.09% when visible light illuminate for 225 minutes, particle size is 20-30 nanometer and dispersion is good.

Sol - gel method and doped with Fe3+ modification techniques were used, prepared for high catalytic activity of iron-doped titanium dioxide nanoparticles,which loaded on the activated carbon for Degradation of Methyl Orange. Such as crystal structure, particle size, load morphology, chemical state and optical absorption characteristics of the doped titania nanoparticles were characterized by using XRD, SEM, and UV-Vis. Fe-TiO2 catalysts for visible light response and the catalytic degradation of methyl orange in water performance were studied. The results showed that: catalysts prepared were anatase, the particle size decreases with the more amount of iron-doped. The phenomenon of Fe3+-modified TiO2 red shift were obviously. Compared with the undoped catalyst,degradation of Fe3+-TiO2 containing activated carbon improved significantly both in the UV and fluorescent light.

The MnFe2O4spinel ferrite nanoparticles with sensitive magnetic response properties and high specific surface area were prepared from metal nitrates by the sol-gel process as catalysts for oxidative degradation of methyl orange (MO). The nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), BET surface area analysis, H2-Temperature programmed reduction (H2-TPR), X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS), and vibration sample magnetometer (VSM). The catalytic activity experimental results showed that the MnFe2O4spinel ferrite nanoparticles possess very high MO degradation activity. It is expected that this kind of MnFe2O4spinel ferrite nanoparticles has a potential application in water treatment fields due to its sensitive magnetic response properties and high catalytic activity.

The uniform and transparent nano-crystalline thin films of pure and co-doped with Fe3+/Sn4+ titanium dioxide photo-catalysts were prepared via sol-gel dip-coating process, and were loaded firmly on the surface of glass substrates. The structure and surface morphology of films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). In particular, the photo-catalytic activity of films was measured by ultraviolet-visible (UV-VIS) spectrophotometer. Methyl orange was used as a model compound to study the photo-catalytic activity of films. The effects of the concentrations of doping ions and the number of layers on photo-catalytic degradation of methyl orange solutions were investigated. Experimental results showed clearly that the co-doping of iron and tin ions exhibited a synergistic effect, which increased significantly the photo-catalytic activity of titanium dioxide. Especially, the photo-catalytic activity of nano-crystalline titanium dioxide thin films co-doped with 0.1 mol%Fe3+ and 11.41mol%Sn4+ was 2.0 times higher than that of those un-doped for photo-degradation of methyl orange solutions under the 125W self-ballasted fluorescent high-pressure mercury lamp irradiation.

Titanium dioxide nanorods have been prepared by sol-gel templatemethod. The structural and surface morphology of the TiO2 nanorods wasinvestigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscopy(AFM), it was found that the nanorods produced were anatase TiO2 phase.The photocatalytic activity of the TiO2 nanorods was evaluated by thephoto degradation of methyl orange (MO). The relatively higherdegradation efficiency for MO (D%=78.2) was obtained after 6h of exposedto UV irradiation.
