Non-contacting (rattle-type) carbon-sphere@TiO2/Cu core-shell composites were prepared through the spray drying technique combined with calcinations using melamine formaldehyde (MF) microspheres as core templates, and TiO2colloid and cupric salt as shell precursors. After the calcination of the as-dried MF@TiO2/cupric salt core-shell spheres at elevated temperatures under nitrogen, rattle-type carbon-sphere@TiO2/Cu core-shell composites were derived with relative uniform sizes. Photocatalytic tests showed that the composites obtained at 550 °C exhibited higher efficiency than those obtained at 700 and 800°C and also higher than the P25 commercial TiO2for the degradation of methylene blue (MB) under visible light irradiation. Antibacterial studies revealed that the rattle-type composites owned excellent antibacterial ability and were stable and reusable.

In order to improve the photocatalytic activity, Co was successfully loaded into Ag3VO4 by using impregnation process. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). The XRD and SEM–EDS analyses revealed that Co ion was dispersed on Ag3VO4. The DRS results indicated that the absorption edge of the Co–Ag3VO4 catalyst shifted to longer wavelength. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of Co–Ag3VO4 for Methylene Blue(MB) dye degradation under visible light irradiation was due to its wider absorption edge and higher separation rate of photo-generated electron and holes. In the experimental conditions, it is demonstrated that the MB was effectively degraded by more than 95% within 40 min when the Co–Ag3VO4 catalyst was calcined at 300°C with 1 wt.% Co content.

Objective of study was the development of core-shell type ZnS-CdS photocatalyst with the stratified morphology. To form the stratified morphology, condition of the precursor is extremely important. For this purpose, three types of precursors, thus core-shell type, egg-shell type and uniform type, was tried to synthesize by utilizing the results of the calculation. The size of the synthesized precursor particles was about 40-100 nm. Main phase of the particle was gradually changed from ZnO (pH8.0) to Cd(OH)2 (pH9.5). Detailed analysis of the synthesized precursor was clearly demonstrated that these have the crystalline structure and each metal element was co-existed in one particle. Therefore, it could be concluded that core-shell type or uniform type precursor was successfully synthesized. Core-shell type ZnS-CdS stratified photocatalyst could be successfully synthesized by sulfurization for 1h, and it shows the high photocatalytic activity under visible light irradiation.
