The influence of the titania photocatalyst particle of the nanometer region on the human being and biology’s to be doubted. Removing the uneasiness will expand further uses for the photocatalyst nanoparticle. Then, we attempted to examine the effect of several titania photocatalyst nanoparticles to the artificial skin like the human body under the UV and visible light irradiation conditions. The decomposition degree of the artificial skin was evaluated from the monitoring of the amount of carbon dioxide generated from them by the titania photocatalyst nanoparticle activity. Under the UV irradiation condition, it was almost found the carbon dioxide emergence from the artificial skin by the activity of the titania photocatalyst nanoparticle. On the other hand, under visible light condition it was mostly detected.

The establishment of evaluation test method of the titania photocatalyst fine particle impact to human body skin was attempted. In this method, the amount of emergence of carbon dioxide, which was expected one of the generation products from the artificial skin according to the titania photocatalyst fine particles activity, was identified and measured by the gas analyzer. It was found that the amount of the carbon dioxide evolution from the artificial skin was different according to the difference of the particle size of the titania photocatalyst fine particle.

The influence of the titania photocatalyst nano-particles to the skin is to be doubted. We studied the influence of different titania photocatalyst nanoparticles shape to the artificial skin like the human body under the UV light irradiation conditions. The decomposition degree of the artificial skin was evaluated from the monitoring of the amount of carbon dioxide generated from them by the titania photocatalyst nanoparticle activity. When spreading their titania nanoparticles on the skin sample, the carbon dioxide generated from the skin was not detected in the apatite coating titania nano-particle sample through was detected the sample coating no apatite. The result was considered not to have existed the influence on the skin samples because the titania nano-particle was not to touch the skin sample directly.

The present work is a significant approach to explore the photo-conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into methanol on Bi2S3/Cds photocatalyst under visible light irradiation. In this perspective, Bi2S3 nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized via corresponding salt and thiourea assisted sol-gel method. An innovative hetero-system Bi2S3/CdS has been proposed to achieve methanol photo evolution and its photocatalytic activities have been investigated.

In this study, magnetic visible light driven photocatalysts (bismuth ferrite, Bi2Fe4O9, BFO and Co-doped bismuth ferrite, Co-BFO) were successfully prepared by the facile hydrothermal method. The catalyst was used in the application of heterogeneous persulfate (PS) system under visible LED light irradiation for the degradation of levofloxacin (LFX), proving to be an excellent photocatalyst when evaluated by various characterization methods. The effect of Co-doping in the BFO structure was investigated that the decrease of band gap width and the generated photoelectrons and holes would effectively reduce the recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, leading to the enhancement photocatalytic activity. The results demonstrated that Co-BFO catalyst had a high photodegradation efficiency over a wide pH range of 3.0–9.0 and the Co-BFO-2 composite displayed the optimal catalytic performance. It was found that the degradation rate of LFX by Co-BFO-2 catalyst was 3.52 times higher than that of pure BFO catalyst under visible light condition. The free radical trapping experiments and EPR tests demonstrated that superoxide, photogenerated holes and sulfate radicals were the main active species in the photocatalytic degradation of LFX. And a possible photocatalytic degradation mechanism of LFX was proposed in the Vis/Co-BFO/PS process. These findings provided new insight of the mechanism of heterogeneous activation of persulfate by Co-BFO under visible light irradiation.
