Three kinds of TiO2 materials named Ti0, Ti0.5 and Ti1.0 were prepared via hydrothermal synthesis method using Tetrabutyl titanate (TNB) as the material and different amounts of Gemini Surfactant we prepared as the template. Then the prepared TiO2 nanoparticle was characterized by Scanning electron microscope(SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Taking the UV light as the light source ,the photocatalytic activity of TiO2 to rhB was studyed . The results showed that the degradation rate of Ti0, Ti0.5 ,Ti1.0 to RhB respectively was 93.6 % , 93.9 %, 99.7 % at the time of 3 hours. The catalytic activity of Ti0.5 and Ti1.0 was obviously better than Ti0, what’s more, Ti1.0 almost made RhB completely degradated at the time of 3 hours.

CeO2-based solid solutions in which Pd partially substitutes for Ce attract considerable attention, owing to their high catalytic performances. In this study, the solid solution (Ce1−xPdxO2−δ) with a high Pd content (x ~ 0.2) was synthesized through co-precipitation under oxidative conditions using molten nitrate, and its structure and thermal decomposition were examined. The characteristics of the solid solution, such as the change in a lattice constant, inhibition of sintering, and ionic states, were examined using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy–energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM−EDS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM)−EDS, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The synthesis method proposed in this study appears suitable for the easy preparation of CeO2 solid solutions with a high Pd content.

Cadmium sulfide nanorods with a length of 69 nm have been prepared by using Cd(OAc)2.2H2O and S8 at 125 °C in the presence of triethylenetetramine as the template agent and coordination agent and characterized by using X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, FTIR, photoluminescence, and UV–vis absorption spectroscopic techniques. Photocopolymerization of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) and sodium acrylate (SA) was carried out using CdS nanorods as a photocatalyst under UV light exposure at 400 nm in the presence of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD). To optimization of the effective parameters on the synthesis of copolymer nanocomposite, the amounts of initiator, monomers, and β-CD, duration of pre-deoxygenation, and light wavelength were evaluated. Ring opening of poly(GMA-co-SA)/CdS nanocomposite with NaN3 afforded poly(HAzPMA-co-SA)/CdS nanocomposite and subsequent mixing with RDX in DMF led to the formation of poly(HAzPMA-co-SA)/RDX/CdS nanocomposite as a polymer bonded explosive. All of the copolymer nanocomposites were characterized using various tools of instrumental analysis.

Nanocrystalline bismuth titanate (Bi4Ti3O12; BTO) powders were successfully prepared by the sol-gel method, using bismuth nitrate (Bi(NO3)3·5H2O) and tetrabutyl titanate (Ti(OC4H9)4) as source materials, acetic anhydride and ethanediol as solvents. The thermal decomposition and phase inversion process of the gel precursors were studied by using differential thermal analysis (DTA). The crystal structures and microstructures of BTO powders were investigated by using x-ray diffraction (XRD), and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The crystallization of amorphous bismuth titanate has been discussed. The effect of sintering temperature on the structure and morphology of BTO was investigated. At 644 oC and above, BTO powder undergoes a phase transformation from tetragonal to orthorhombic. At 900 oC, the purified orthorhombic BTO nanocrystals were obtained.

TiO2 nanorod (NR) arrays were prepared on FTO by the simple hydrothermal synthesizing method. On this basis, a layer of Bi2S3 quantum dots (QDs) was covered on the surface of TiO2 NRs array by solvothermal method, by which the Nano Bi2S3/TiO2 NRs composites films were obtained. The phase structure, morphologies, optical absorptions and photoelectrochemical (PEC) properties of the as-prepared materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM), Ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), Photoluminescence (PL) and electrochemical workstation. The results indicate that the concentration of tetrabutyl titanate (TBT) has a great influence on the morphology of the film, with the increase of TBT content, the array of TiO2 NRs changed from loose to tight, and the thin films were cracked when the TBT volume is up to 0.7[Formula: see text]mL; The absorption of the TiO2 NRs array film to the visible light is enhanced significantly when sensitized with Bi2S3 and the absorption wavelength is increased from 400[Formula: see text]nm to 800[Formula: see text]nm. Compared with the pure TiO2, the fluorescence intensity of the TiO2/Bi2S3 NRs is weakened, and there is no obvious fluorescence diffraction peak. Under the irradiation of standard (AM1.5[Formula: see text]G 100[Formula: see text]mW/cm[Formula: see text], the photocurrent density of the composite film increased significantly. When the external bias voltage is 1.2[Formula: see text]V, the current density of the composite films is five times of that of the pure TiO2.

ZnO quantum dots and KNb3O8 nanosheets were synthesized by a two-step hydrothermal method for the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 to methanol where isopropanol is simultaneously oxidized to acetone . The as-prepared photocatalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and UV–vis absorption spectroscopy (UV–vis). The photocatalytic activity of the materials was evaluated by formation rate of methanol under UV light irradiation at ambient temperature and pressure. The methanol formation rate of pure KNb3O8 nanosheets was found to be 1257.21 μmol/g/h, and after deposition of 2 wt % ZnO quantum dots on the surface of KNb3O8 nanosheets, the methanol production rate was found to increase to 1539.77 μmol/g/h. Thus, the ZnO quantum dots obviously prompted separation of charge carriers, which was explained by a proposed mechanism for this photocatalytic reaction.

Cu-doped TiO2 photocatalysts were synthesized by a homogeneous hydrolysis and low temperature crystallization method using tetrabutyl titanate as the titanium source and cupric acetate as the doping agent. The phase structure, composition and morphology of the product were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area analysis (BET). The XRD results confirmed that the crystalline phase of all prepared samples was anatase-type TiO2. SEM results showed that the Cu-doped TiO2 were composed of spherical particles with particle diameter smaller than 20 nm. Furthermore, the photocatalytic activity of the Cu-doped TiO2 catalysts were evaluated based on the photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange (MO) in aqueous solution. The results showed that Cu-doped TiO2 had the higher visible-light-induced catalytic activity than the commercial P25 TiO2 powder. The copper content in Cu-doped TiO2 had obvious effect on the visible-light-induced catalytic activity, and the degradation rate of MO could reach 33.7% using Cu-doped TiO2 with a doping level of 1.0 mol% Cu as a photocatalyst under the visible light irradiation for 3 hours.
