In the paper, the TiO2nanomaterials adopted the microcrystalline cellulose as the template by the template method and sol-gel method was prepared. Through the infrared spectrometer (FT-IR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), the surface morphology, composition and the type of the samples were characterized respectively. The influence of the macro morphology of TiO2photocatalytic performance to use the reaction of decolorization and degradation of methyl orange as model was analyzed. The results showed that TiO2which was produced by the template of sallix fiber was Rod-shaped and the average diameter size of nanocomposite structure was 20.592 nm, which can provide a new method of producing other morphology of TiO2.

Based on X-ray diffraction results, the gallery height of modified Mg3Al-LDH was expanded to 9.6Å from the original 4.8Å, indicating that the H3PW12O40 was indeed inserted into the hydroxide layers. Moreover, the results of FT-IR spectra proved the Keggin structure of PW11O397- species. The resulting material showed a high activity of degradation of methyl orange in the presence of H2O2 and UV light irradiation.

Ti (OC4H9)4 was used as the Ti precursor and titanium dioxide (TiO2) was prepared by sol-gel method. During the preparation process, Fe3+ was doped and different surfactants, such as SDS, PEG, CTAB, were added to improve the photocatalytic activity of TiO2. The effect of the different type of surfactants on the structure of Fe-doped TiO2 was discussed. The photocatalysts were characterized by thermogravimetric thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The red shift of the absorption edge of the Fe-doped TiO2 prepared by using different surfactants was observed. Methyl orange (MO) solution was degraded under sunlight irradiation to evaluate the photocatalytic performance. The results indicated that the photocatalyst prepared with PEG addition had the highest activity and MO degradation ratio could reach 90% after 4 hours irradiation with the best photocatalyst.

Nano-TiO2 particles were prepared by sol-gel method, of which the surfaces were coated by SiO2. The coating was achieved by the hydrolysis of sodium silicate (Na2SiO3) in ammonium chloride (NH4Cl). The surface bonding, phase constitution and chemical components of the samples were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction(XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The mechanism of the SiO2 coating process onto TiO2 surface was analyzed. Results show that SiO2 particles were immobilized on the TiO2 surface via Ti—O—Si bondings, which formed at the interface. The SiO2 layer on TiO2 surface was amorphous, the photocatalytic performance was decreased of the TiO2 while its stability was enhanced after surface modification.

Nd-doped Cu11O2 (VO4)6 photocatalyst was synthesized by complexing Sol-gel method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy(EDX). The photocatalytic activity of Nd-doped Cu11O2 (VO4)6 was evaluated by photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange (MO) solution under UV-light. It revealed that the Nd-doped Cu11O2 (VO4)6 prepared with the molar ratio of citric acid to metal inons be 2:1, Nd/Cu molar ratio of 2%, pH=7 and calcinated under 500°C for 4 hours was pure triclinic phase. In this conditions, the sample had highest photocatalytic activity with the photodegradation rate was about 95.73% or so in 60min under 20W ultraviolet lamp.

By sol-gel processing and electrospinning technique, ultrathin fibers of PVP/ ZnTiO3:Pb2+ composites were synthesized. After calcined of the fibers at 600°C, the spinel ZnTiO3:Pb2+ nanofibers, with a diameter of 100-200nm, were successfully obtained. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM), fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and photoluminescence (PL) were employed in the study. The results displayed that the morphology and crystalline phase of the fibers were greatly affecteded by the calcination temperature. The PL spectra of the samples measured at different excitation wavelength reveal a novel luminescent phenomenon in blue and green region, which can be attributed to the Pb2+-related charge-transfer transitions in ZnTiO3 nanofibers.

Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) polymer material was synthesized via a simple approach by directly heating melamine as the precursor at 500°C. The phase composition, chemical functional groups, and surface morphology of the obtained product were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. All the characterization results identified the formation of g-C3N4 with stack-layered structure. The absorption and photocatalytic performance of as-synthesized g-C3N4 for the discoloration of an active dye, Methylene Blue (MB), were proved to be excellent and control experiments inferred that adsorption and photocatalysis governed the MB discoloration under UV irradiation. The repeated experiments indicated that the obtained sample could be reused more than five times without loss of its absorption capacity and photocatalytic activity.

TiO2 and iron-doped TiO2 were synthesized by sol-gel method. TiO2 and 0.5 %mol Fe:TiO2 were calcined at 500 and 800 °C for 3 h. The synthesized particles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), UV-VIS diffuse reflectance spectrophotometry (UV/DRS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive X-Ray analysis (SEM-EDX). The XRD patterns of all samples that were calcined at 500 °C showed only anatase phase. On increasing temperature from 500 to 800 °C, the anatase phase transformed to rutile phase. For 0.5 %mol Fe:TiO2, pseudobrookite (Fe2TiO5) phase was observed at 800 °C. The particles that contained rutile showed higher antibacterial activities against E.coli, B. subtilis, and S. aureus than anatase phase, under fluorescent irradiation.

The photocatalytic materials were prepared by sol–gel method: the main raw materials were tetrabutyltitanate and the lanthanum nitrate hexahydrate, bentonite was the carrier to support TiO2.The properties of the composites were characterized by specific surface area (BET), X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and thermogravimetric analysis (TG). The photocatalytic degradation of cyanide waste water was used to assess the photocatalytic activity of the materials. The experimental results showed that the suitable content of lanthanum and roasted temperature could improve the photocatalytic activity. When the composites were roasted at 400 °C and the molar ratio of La to Ti was 1%, the photocatalyst reached optimal performance.

Abstract Excessive N-NO3- water pollution has become a widespread and serious problem that threatens human and ecosystem health. Here, a TiO2/SiO2 composite photocatalyst was prepared via the sol-gel/hydrothermal method. TiO2 and TiO2/SiO2 were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-Vis differential reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), Fourier infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Afterward, the photocatalytic performance of TiO2 and TiO2/SiO2 to reduce low nitrate concentrations (30 mgN·L-1) under UV light were evaluated and the effects of different factors on this process were investigated, after which the reaction conditions were optimized. Removal rates of up to 99.93% were achieved at a hole scavenger (formic acid) concentration of 0.6 mL·L-1, a CO2 flow rate of 0.1 m3·h-1, and a TiO2 concentration of 0.9 g·L-1. In contrast, TiO2/SiO2 at a 1.4 g·L-1 concentration and a TiO2 load rate of 40% achieved a removal rate of 83.48%,But with more than 98% of nitrogen generation rate.NO2- and NH4+ were the minor products, whereas N2 was the main product.
