Degradation of dye pollutants by the photocatalytic process has been regarded as the most efficient green method for removal organic dyes from contaminated water. The current research work describes the synthesis of Fe3O4@SiO2@Ru hybrid magnetic composites (HMCs) and their photocatalytic degradation of two azo dye pollutants, methyl orange (MO) and methyl red (MR), under irradiation of visible light. The synthesis of Fe3O4@SiO2@Ru HMCs involves three stages, including synthesis of Fe3O4 magnetic microspheres (MMSs), followed by silica (SiO2) coating to get Fe3O4@SiO2 MMSs, and then incorporation of presynthesized Ru nanoparticles (~3 nm) onto the surface of Fe3O4@SiO2 HMCs. The synthesized HMCs were characterized by XRD, FTIR, TEM, EDS, XPS, BET analysis, UV-DRS, PL spectroscopy, and VSM to study the physical and chemical properties. Furthermore, the narrow band gap energy of the HMC photocatalyst is a significant parameter that provides high photocatalytic properties due to the high light adsorption. The photocatalytic activity of synthesized Fe3O4@SiO2@Ru HMCs was assessed by researching their ability to degrade the aqueous solution of MO and MR dyes under visible radiation, and the influence of various functional parameters on photocatalytic degradation has also been studied. The results indicate that the photocatalytic degradation of MO and MR dyes is more than 90%, and acid media favors better degradation. The probable mechanism of photodegradation of azo dyes by Fe3O4@SiO2@Ru HMC catalysts has been proposed. Furthermore, due to the strong ferromagnetic Fe3O4 core, HMCs were easily separated from the solution after the photocatalytic degradation process for reuse. Also, the photocatalytic activity after six cycles of use is greater than 90%, suggesting the stability of the synthesized Fe3O4@SiO2@Ru HMCs.

Ag/TiO2 coated composite was prepared via sol-gel method in order to elucidate its application in magnetic field assisted photocatalytic degradation of dyes. Through the degradation of organic dyes, the key influences such as Ag amount, heat-treated temperature and time on the photocatalytic activity of Ag/TiO2, as well as UV irradiation time, rotational speed, dye concentration and magnetic sheet number on the photocatalytic degradation were studied. Results showed that the Ag/TiO2 with 25 wt% Ag content heat-treated at 550 °C for 60 min has the best photocatalytic activity. With the increase of UV light irradiation time, rotational speed and magnetic sheet number, the degradation rate is improved. Different dye degradation proved that the method could universally be used.

In order to consider the performance enhancement and feasibility of practical application, this research work discussed the effects of different ions on the photocatalytic activity of TiO2/Fe2O3 hybrids in detail, involving H[Formula: see text], OH−, NH[Formula: see text], and NO[Formula: see text]. The TiO2/Fe2O3 hybrids were prepared by organic electrolyte-assisted sol–gel method under UV irradiation, and their function mechanisms were analyzed. Experiment results show that the resultant TiO2/Fe2O3 hybrids possess excellent photocatalytic activity and photocatalytic stability for degradation of organics under acid condition (pH 2–8). Notably, the NO[Formula: see text] ions could accelerate degradation of rhodamine B and methyl orange, and the recyclability of TiO2/Fe2O3 hybrids can be greatly enhanced in the co-existence of NO[Formula: see text] and NH[Formula: see text]. Meanwhile, this symbiosis of NO[Formula: see text] and NH[Formula: see text] is proven able to buffer the solution pH in photocatalysis. Furthermore, the prominent photocatalytic activity of TiO2/Fe2O3 hybrids for organic pollutants was mainly attributed to the formation of hydroxyl radicals (OH). The synthetic products show great potential applications in purification of air or wastewater that contains ammonia-nitrogen molecules.

Carbon dots (C-dots) were facilely fabricated via a hydrothermal method and fully characterized. Our study shows that the as-synthesized C-dots are nontoxic, negatively charged spherical particles (average diameter 4.7 nm) with excellent water dispersion ability. Furthermore, the C-dots have a rich presence of surface functionalities such as hydroxyls and carboxyls as well as amines. The significance of the C-dots as highly efficient photocatalysts for rhodamine B (RhB) and methylene blue (MB) degradation was explored. The C-dots demonstrate excellent photocatalytic activity, achieving 100% of RhB and MB degradation within 170 min. The degradation rate constants for RhB and MB were 1.8 × 10−2 and 2.4 × 10−2 min−1, respectively. The photocatalytic degradation performances of the C-dots are comparable to those metal-based photocatalysts and generally better than previously reported C-dots photocatalysts. Collectively considering the excellent photocatalytic activity toward organic dye degradation, as well as the fact that they are facilely synthesized with no need of further doping, compositing, and tedious purification and separation, the C-dots fabricated in this work are demonstrated to be a promising alternative for pollutant degradation and environment protection.

Cooper doped SrAl2O4:xCu powders were synthesized by combustion method. The doping concentrations were x= 0.1%, 0.3%, 0.5%, and 1.0 at.%. X-ray diffraction patterns indicate that all Cu doped/undoped powders has monoclinic phase. Also, TEM images show that the size of the nanoparticles decreases as the content of Cu increases. The photocatalytic degradation of Congo red (CR) was studied by monitoring intensity of its characteristic absorbance band centered at 494 nm. The best result was obtained with the 0.1% Cu doped sample, since it degraded 100% of CR after 120 minutes under sunlight excitation. Hence, our results suggest that SrAl2O4:xCu powders could be suitable candidates for photocatalytic degradation of dye pollutants under sunlight.
