Abstract. The surface plasmon resonance photocatalysts of Ag-AgBr/RGO were synthesized by chemical precipitation and photochemical reduction method. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction and UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy. The photocatalytic activities of catalysts were studied using the photocatalytic degradation of helianthine as a probe reaction. The results showed that the degradation rate of 10 mg/L helianthine reached 95% after 60 min of visible light irradiation.

A silicon dioxide/carbon nano onions/titanium dioxide (SiO2/CNOs/TiO2) composite was synthesized by a simple sol-gel method and characterized by the methods of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electronic microscope (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TG), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectra (UV-Vis DRS). In this work, the photocatalytic activity of the SiO2/CNOs/TiO2 photocatalyst was assessed by testing the degradation rate of Rhodamine B (RhB) under visible light. The results indicated that the samples exhibited the best photocatalytic activity when the composite consisted of 3% CNOs and the optimum dosage of SiO2/CNOs/TiO2(3%) was 1.5 g/L as evidenced by the highest RhB degradation rate (96%). The SiO2/CNOs/TiO2 composite greatly improved the quantum efficiency of TiO2. This work provides a new option for the modification of subsequent nanocomposite oxide nanoparticles.

Straw-sheaf-like CuO nanostructures were fruitfully synthesized using a chemical precipitation approach for the photocatalytic degradation assessment of tartrazine. Phase identification, composition, and morphological outlook of prepared CuO nanostructures were established by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy analysis. The photocatalytic performance of the synthesized CuO nanostructures was appraised in the presence of visible light and the possible intermediates formed during the photocatalytic degradation were analyzed by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. A suitable degradation pathway has also been proposed.

Biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using ketapang leaf extract, modification with p-coumaric acid for detecting melamine has conducted. This research aimed to synthesize AgNPs via bio-reduction method using ketapang leaf extract followed by modification with p-coumaric acid (APK), and evaluating its application detecting melamine. The AgNPs were characterized through ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy (UV-Vis) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Observation suggested that an increase of incubation time had affected its surface Plasmon resonance trend. Further analysis of crystallite via XRD suggested that nanoparticle size at 43 nm estimated using Debye-Scherer, within the form of unit cells is cubic. The performance of product as melamine detector suggested that the AgNPs-APK had detected melamine in range of concentration from 0.1 to 1000 ppm.

In this work, we report that ZnTiO3/TiO2 composites, which were synthesized by hydrothermal method possessed photocatalytic and potential spraying properties. The obtained ZnTiO3/TiO2 composites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction techniques (XRD). Photocatalytic activities of ZnTiO3/TiO2 composites were evaluated by using Rhodamine B (RhB) as a model pollutant under visible light irradiation. The experimental results showed that the as-prepared ZnTiO3 (2%)/TiO2 composite exhibited better photocatalytic activity than that of pure TiO2.

N, S codoped titania with high photocatalystic properties were prepared by hydrothermal method. The resulting materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. N, S codoped titania displayed a better degradation rate of organophosphorus pesticide under visible light irradiation. The utility of N, S codoped TiO2 as a photocatalysis over undoped titania entirely, whether the requirement for visible-light functionality, even if at low efficiency, outweighs a modest drop in the efficiency of catalysis using UV light.

A novel fly ash cenospheres supported Pt–BiVO4 composites (Pt–BiVO4/FACs) photocatalysts were prepared by modified metalorganic decomposition process, followed by photochemical reduction. The composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS), and UV–vis diffused reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) techniques. The results indicate that the visible light absorption of the Pt–BiVO4/FACs composite is greatly enhanced. The Pt element is present in the metallic form and disperses in the composite samples. Photocatalytic activities of the Pt–BiVO4/FACs composites were evaluated by the methylene blue (MB) degradation under visible light irradiation. The results indicate that the photocatalytic efficiency is significantly improved after the Pt species was loaded and the 2 wt% Pt-loaded composite showed the highest photocatalytic activity.

Using cadmium acetate and sodium sulfuret as Cd and S sources, CdS samples were synthesized by chemical precipitation method. The conditions of supersaturation and aging time had been investigated, which could influence the activity of CdS for photocatalytic degrading methyl orange. The products were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction and field emission scanning electron microscopy. The CdS samples synthesized under low supersaturation showed better photocatalytic activities. A phase transformation of hexagonal CdS to cubic CdS was observed when CdS precipitation aging and the presence of proper amount of hexagonal CdS should improve the photocatalytic performance of cubic CdS.

AbstractMonoclinic BiVO4 photocatalyst was successfully synthesized by hydrothermal method under appropriate temperature. The photocatalytic performance of BiVO4 was improved by calcining at appropriate temperature. The structural and morphological properties of the synthesized BiVO4 photocatalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. It is confirmed that the photocatalytic activity of the prepared catalysts was evaluated by the photodegradation of RhB under visible-light irradiation. BiVO4 calcined under appropriate temperature exhibited higher photocatalytic activity than uncalcined BiVO4 under visible light irradiation because calcination might effectively increases the purity of monoclinic bismuth vanadate.

Abstract In this paper, the highly stable Ag/CdS-WO2 nanocomposite was fabricated by a facile and capping agent-free hydrothermal technique. The fabricated Ag doped CdS-WO2 nanocomposite were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and UV-vis diffuse reflectance (DRS) spectroscopy. The photocatalytic performance of synthesized photocatalysts was evaluated for the photodegradation of rhodamine B (Rh B) under visible light irradiation (VLI). The parameters used for the optimization of the photocatalyst were pH, catalyst dose, oxidant dose, and irradiation time. Based on this, a possible reaction mechanism for the enhancement of photocatalytic activity of Ag/CdS-WO2 has been proposed. Hence, we have a tendency to believe it might be a promising material that may be used for the photodegradation of organic pollutants present in wastewater.

Nanocrystalline samples of titanium dioxide (TiO2) monodoped or co-doped with La and Y were prepared by a facile method, using Ti(OC4H9)4as the precursor. All products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS), respectively. Photocatalytic activities of the products were assessed by the photocatalytic decomposition of methyl orange (MO). Both of undoped TiO2and doped-TiO2 samples exclusively consist of primary anatase crystallites, which further form spherical aggregates with diameters ranging from 14 to 21 nm. The photocatalytic performances of rare earth (RE) element co-doped samples were much higher than that of single doped and pure TiO2 under UV-visible-light irradiation. It indicated that a strong La-Y synergistic interaction appeared to play a decisive role in driving the excellent photocatalytic performance of LYT.
