Nanocrystalline W-doped TiO2 powders with different initial W/Ti ratio in starting materials have been prepared by hydrothermal method. The phase composition, morphologies, specific surface areas and the photocatalytic activities under visible light irradiation of the synthesized powders have been characterized. XRD identification reveals that the synthesized powders were composed of anatase. No rutile has been detected in the products. The specific surface area of the powders was ranged from 185 to 210 m2/g by BET measurement. The averaged grain size of the powders was calculated as about 12 nm by Scheller's method. Uniform size distribution and good crystallinity have been confirmed by TEM. UV-Vis spectra show that the absorption edges of the synthesized W-doped TiO2 powders with different nominal doping concentration of Wions have been red-shifted into visible light region, which suggests that the W ions have been doped into the lattice of TiO2. In our case, W-doped TiO2 with initial W/Ti atomic ratio of 1% in starting materials has the best photocatalytic activities when decompose the Methylblue in its aqueous solution, which is consistent with that of the theoretical results from our previous work.

Polyaniline@BaZrO3 nanocomposites with particular mass proportions of polyaniline/BaZrO3 were fabricated in this study. The catalytic action of the specimens was resolved amid photocatalytic production of hydrogen beneath Vis light irradiation. It was noticed that specific surface areas for the BaZrO3 nanospherical were 140 m2/g, which is the highest value reached in our new preparation method. Addition of polyaniline to BaZrO3 nanospherical spheres slightly decreased the surface areas to 130 m2/g. TEM micrographs revealed that the BaZrO3 and polyaniline@BaZrO3 specimens appeared as homogenous nanospherical composites. With introduction of PANI, the polyaniline@BaZrO3 nanocomposite structures were not obviously changed. The very low content of PANI within the nanocomposites accounted for its disappearance within the images of the composites. The evolved hydrogen under visible-light irradiation using 0.12% polyaniline/BaZrO3 photocatalyst was 13000 μmol g–1h–1 within 9 h using 2.0 g/L photocatalyst dose.

Hydrangea-like F-doped TiO2microspheres have been synthesized on a large scale by a simple hydrothermal process using potassium titanium oxalate as the titanium source, ammonium fluoride and hydrogen peroxide as the etchant. The photocatalytic activities were evaluated using carbamazepine as the target organic molecule under UV and visible light irradiation. Structural characterization indicates that the hydrangea-like TiO2microspheres, with an average diameter of 2.80 μm, are composed of numerous anatase TiO2petals. Moreover, it is found that both the NH4F and H2O2dosages have important effects on the formation of the hydrangea-like structures. In addition, photocatalytic experiments show that the hydrangea-like TiO2microspheres calcined at 500°C exhibit high photocatalytic efficiency under both UV and visible light irradiation. The enhanced photocatalytic activity can be attributed to the successful fluorine doping, good crystallinity, and the unique nanostructures.

Photocatalytic Activities

The highly active Ag3PO4 photocatalysts were successfully synthesized using the hydrophylic polymer of PVA (polyvinyl alcohol), PEG (polyethylene glycol) and PVP (polyvinyl pyrrolidone). The products were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Diffuse reflection spectroscopy (DRS), Field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) specific surface area, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Photocatalytic activities were evaluated using decomposition of Rhodamine B (RhB) under visible light irradiation. The results showed that the PVA, PEG, and PVP increased the specific surface area and enhanced the photocatalytic activity of Ag3PO4. The highest photocatalytic activity could be observed in Ag3PO4 synthesized with PVA, mainly due to an increase in electron excitation induced by PVA chemically adsorbed on the surface.

In photocatalysis, the recombination of electron-hole pairs is generally regarded as one of its most serious drawbacks. The synthesis of various composites with heterojunction structures has increasingly shed light on preventing this recombination. In this work, a BiOBr-Bi2WO6photocatalytic heterojunction semiconductor was synthesized by the facile hydrothermal method and applied in the photocatalytic degradation process. It was determined that both reaction time and temperature significantly affected the crystal structure and morphologies of the photocatalysts. BiOBr (50 at%)-Bi2WO6composites were prepared under optimum synthesis conditions (120°C for 6 h) and by theoretically analyzing the DRS results, it was determined that they possessed the suitable band gap (2.61 eV) to be stimulated by visible-light irradiation. The photocatalytic activities of the as-prepared photocatalysts were evaluated by the degradation ofRhodamine B (RhB)under visible-light irradiation. The experimental conditions, including initial concentration, pH, and catalyst dosage, were explored and the photocatalysts in this system were proven stable enough to be reused for several runs. Moreover, the interpreted mechanism of the heterojunction enhancement effect proved that the synthesis of a heterojunction structure provided an effective method to decrease the recombination rate of the electron-hole pairs, thereby improving the photocatalytic activity.
