The synthesis of g-C3N4/Bi2WO6composite materials with varying the g-C3N4content was reported in this investigation. The composite samples were characterized by various techniques. The photocatalytic activity of the g-C3N4/Bi2WO6products has been investigated by the degradation of methyl orange dye under visible light irradiation. The UV-vis absorption spectra show that the absorption edge of the composite sample shifts to longer wavelengths with increasing the doping amount of g-C3N4. It is revealed that the g-C3N4/Bi2WO6composite photocatalysts exhibit remarkably enhanced photocatalytic performance for the degradation of methyl orange. The high visible light photocatalytic activity of g-C3N4/Bi2WO6can be attributed to the efficient transfer and separation of charge carriers in the interface between g-C3N4and Bi2WO6particles.

The visible-light photocatalytic activity of titanate nanotubes (TiNTs) sensitized by 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP), 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin manganese (MnTPP), 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin nickel (NiTPP) and 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin zinc (ZnTPP), respectively, was investigated by the photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange (MO) as a probe reaction. The results showed that the central ions of porphyrins had an important influence on the photocatalytic activity of the samples. The activity was in the order of TiNTs-ZnTPP > TiNTs-TPP > TiNTs-NiTPP > TiNTs-MnTPP. Combined the result of absorption spectra with that of fluorescence spectra, it was demonstrated that various visible-light absorption and photoelectron transfer caused by the central ions of porphyrins were the decisive factor for the visible-light photocatalytic activity of the sensitized TiNTs.

A new visible-light-driven plasmonic photocatalyst Ag/AgCl/TiO2-XCX was prepared by a two-step synthesis process. The bandgap of the synthesized sample was 2.87 eV. In the degradation of methyl orange (MO) solution under the visible light (l>420 nm), the Ag/AgCl/TiO2-X CX shows higher photocatalytic activity than TiO2-X C X . The apparent ratio constant (kapp) value of Ag/AgCl/TiO2-XCX was about 9.7 times that TiO2-XCX.

La3+/halogen (F-, Cl-and Br-) co-doped TiO2was synthesized by alkoxide hydrolysis method. The prepared La3+/halogen TiO2photocatalysts with anatase phases and rutile phases were characterized with XRD, EDS, TEM and surface area analytic technology. Methyl orange was used as model pollutants to evaluate its visible light photocatalytic activity. The results showed that the co-doping of La3+and halogen ions improved the surface area of TiO2. Compared with 450°C and 650°C, La3+/Cl-and La3+/Br-co-doped TiO2calcined at 550°C exhibited much higher photocatalytic activity. The optimal doping ratio of La3+/F-, La3+/Cl-and La3+/Br-was 0.4, 0.6, and 0.5 ((wt%)/(wt%)), respectively. Moreover, the degradation ratio of methyl orange on La3+/halogen co-doped TiO2with the optimal ratio were all higher than the maximum degradation ratio on La3+, F-, Cl-and Br-doped TiO2prepared by the same method.
