Background: The study focuses on the synthesis of chitosan/ Fe2O3 nanocomposite, its characterization and application in methyl orange dye degradation. Methods: The synthesized chitosan/ Fe2O3 nanocomposite was characterized with Powder X-Ray Diffraction, Fourier Transformation Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and UV-Vis Spectroscopy. Results: The characterization showed that the Fe2O3nanoparticles were embedded in the polymer matrix of chitosan. The size of the Fe2O3nanoparticles were less than 10nm and the crystallite size was 1.22 nm.The synthesized chitosan/ Fe2O3nanocomposite was tested for methyl orange degradation using different parameters such as effect of contact time, effect of dose, effect of concentration and effect of pH for the degradation of methyl orange dye in aqueous solution.The Fruendlich, Langmuir and Temkin isotherm studies were also conducted for adsoption of methyl orange on Chitosan/ Fe2O3nanocomposite. Conclusion: The study indicated that the synthesized chitosan/Fe2O3 nanocomposite had the potential of degrading methyl orange dye up to 75.04% under the set condition in this experiment which indicate that Chitosan/ Fe2O3 nanocomposite is a viable option that can be used for the degradation of methyl orange dye.

An ecofriendly polymer composite based on chitosan, polyaniline and manganese dioxide has been prepared using batch adsorption method and analyzed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), UV-vis, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). FTIR results suggested the presence of functional groups like hydroxyl and amino groups and also shown a significant shift in IR bands in CS-PANI-MnO2 composite. The surface of composite was quite rough within the folds of pleated regions as observed from the SEM and TEM morphologies. The prepared composite was also utilized as an adsorbent for the treatment of methyl orange from the aqueous solution and achieved a reasonably good adsorption capacity of 96.2%. The biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) tests also suggested their suitability for the adsorption of methyl orange dye.

Hollow cubic TiO2particles were synthesized using cubic Cu2O particles as hard templates, and the hydrolysis of tetrabutyl titanate (TBOT). The products were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and UV-Vis spectrometer, respectively. The results show that the prepared TiO2is composed of anatase TiO2, and has a stronger absorption in the range of 300-400nm wavelengths in its UV-Vis spectroscopy. Experiments were carried out using a methyl orange solution as a model to evaluate the photocatalytic activity of hollow cubic TiO2particles. The effects of catalyst dosage, initial concentration and pH of methyl orange solution on the degree of photodegradation have been investigated. It’s found that the hollow cubic TiO2particles have a good photocatalytic property. And the degradation rate of the methyl orange, after methyl orange solution (5mg/L) containing hollow cubic TiO2particles (0.5g/L) is irradiated by 125W ultraviolet light for 120 minutes, is 95%.

A novel CuO-TiO2 composite photocatalyst was prepared by a redox process coupling with sol-gel method. The morphology and structure of the as-prepared samples were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Photocatalytic activity of the CuO-TiO2 composite photocatalyst was evaluated in terms of the degradation of Methyl orange (MO) in aqueous solution under UV light irradiation. The results show that the as-prepared composite consisted of monoclinic-phase CuO-nanotubes and TiO2 nanoparticles, in which TiO2 nanoparticles were dramatically decorated on the CuO-nanotubes, exhibits a high catalytic activity to decolorize MO. According to the experimental results, 1.27wt % was the optimal loading for CuO-doped TiO2 photocatalyst.

Metal-ferrite/maghemite nanocomposites (NiFe2O4/***[Formula: see text]-Fe2O3 and CoFe2O4/[Formula: see text]-Fe2O[Formula: see text] were synthesized via doping maghemite with metal salt (NiCl2 or CoCl[Formula: see text] followed by reduction of metal ions using NaBH4. The synthesized metal-ferrite/maghemite nanocomposites were characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and the amounts of the dopant-metal (Ni/Co) were determined using ICP-OES technique. Results showed that this synthetic route produced nanocomposites with highly active ferrite phases MFe2O4. The synthesized nanocomposites exhibited exceptional catalytic activities for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol and 2-nitroaniline as well as the catalytic degradation of methyl orange. Specific activity parameter of NiFe2O4/[Formula: see text]-Fe2O3 and CoFe2O4/[Formula: see text]-Fe2O3 toward reduction of 4-NP reached 993.9 and 929.8[Formula: see text]s[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]g[Formula: see text], respectively. These high values of specific activities are higher than most reported metal-ferrite composites prepared via traditional co-precipitation methods. Besides, strong magnetic properties of the prepared metal-ferrite/maghemites facilitates easy separation process for several reuses.

In this work, F-Sb codoped SnO2film electrode material has been prepared and used as an anode on titanium (Ti) substrate for degradation of methyl orange. The emphasis is laid on the effect of univalent cations fluoride doped during preparation of F-Sn codoped SnO2composites by sol gel method. The facts show that univalent cations fluoride could affects the electro-catalytic degradation rate of methyl orange by F-Sb codoped composite film on the Ti electrode. A promotion to the degradation rates of methyl orange could be observed when KF or NH4F was used as codopant but other fluoride codopant such as LiF, NaF or HF could slow the methyl orange degradation. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and x-ray photo-electron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to study structures and composition of the anode surface.

Polyaniline-modified nanocrystalline TiO2 composites were successfully prepared by in situ chemical oxidative polymerization and used as an efficient photocatalyst for the degradation of methyl orange under natural light. The nanocomposites were characterized by Transmission electron microscope (TEM), Scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectra (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction and UV-Vis spectra. Results show that polyaniline-modified nanocrystalline TiO2 composites exhibit significantly higher photocatalytic activity than that of neat TiO2 on degradation of methyl orange under natural light. In addition, the conductivity of polyaniline-modified TiO2 nanoparticles was also investigated and has reached 2.65 × 10-1 S cm-1 at room temperature.

This paper aims at the investigation of photocatalytic properties of titanium dioxide coatings covering on the surfaces of long blue-emitting afterglow CaAl2O4:Eu2+, Nd3+ elaborated by a sol-gel method. Morphologies and microstructures of the coatings were observed mainly by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The photocatalytic behavior of the TiO2-base surfaces was evaluated by the degradation of methyl orange (MO) solution. It suggested that a layer of TiO2 film mounted on the phosphor particles successfully. Also, the TiO2 coatings had remained its photocatalytic role on the as-prepared sample even after the light source was removed. The inner long blue-emitting afterglow had released blue afterglow after removing light source and allowed for reactive TiO2 surfaces to be held for the removal of methyl orange.

CdIn2S4was prepared by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis. The prepared CdIn2S4was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FSEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS), and N2-sorption techniques. Aqueous photocatalytic activity was evaluated by the decomposition of methyl orange under visible light irradiation. The results indicate that the prepared CdIn2S4has spherical morphology with mesoporous structure which can efficiently degrade methyl orange in water. The sample prepared at 500°C exhibits the optimized photocatalytic activity.
