The TiO2/NiFe2O4 (TN) composite nanoparticles with different mass ratios of NiFe2O4 to TiO2 were prepared via sol-gel method. X-ray diffraction was used to characterize the phase structure of TN. The results indicated that adulterating a smidgen of NiFe2O4 into the TiO2 (about 0.1%) can promote the phase transformation of TiO2, however, when the doping amount of NiFe2O4 surpasses 1%, the introduction of NiFe2O4 can inhibit the growth of TiO2 crystal grain and reduce the size of TiO2 crystal grain. The degradation experiment of methyl orange solution under UV illumination (253.7 nm) showed that the content of NiFe2O4 in the TN was higher, the photocatalytic activity of TN was worse, and the 0.1% TiO2/NiFe2O4 calcined at 400 °C presented the best photocatalytic activity.

Decoloration Rate

Silver (Ag+) doped iron (III) vanadate (FeVO4) samples are prepared by the precipitation method and then characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS). The photocatalytic activity under visible light is evaluated by photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange (MO) in the solution. The results show that both FeVO4 and Ag+ doped FeVO4 samples are triclinic, the later have different surface morphology, and some needle-shaped materials appear in the later. From XPS, there are more Fe2+ ions in Ag+ doped FeVO4 sample than that in FeVO4 one without Ag+. It indicates that Ag+ doping can increase the density of the surface oxygen vacancies of catalysts, which can act as electron traps promoting the electron-hole separation and then increase the photo-activity. The decoloration rate after Ag+ doping against methyl orange solution can reach about 81%, and be more about 20％ than that of pure FeVO4.

Degradation Of Methyl Orange

In this work, samarium and antimony (Sm–Sb) codoped tin oxide (SnO2) films have been successfully prepared on titanium (Ti) substrate by a facile sol gel method. The samples were characterized by X–ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The composite film materials were used as anode for the electro-degradation of methyl orange solution. Two effective factors of electro–catalytic properties namely, the content of Sm in the SnO2 samples and the calcination temperature, have been optimized based on the electro-degradation experiments. A moderately calcination temperature of 873 K and 1.0% Sm doping owned the best performance. The smaller grain sizes and optical band gap of the SnO2 by introduction of the Sm improved electro-catalytic activity.

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%.

ABSTRACTSillenite Bi25FeO40 crystallites have been fabricated via a sol-gel approach. X-ray diffraction results show that single-phase Bi25FeO40 can be synthesized at the annealing temperature of 600 oC with the help of PEG additive. The amount of additives and the annealing temperature has great effects on the formation of phase pure Bi25FeO40 crystallites. The morphologies of Bi25FeO40 crystallites were observed by SEM techniques. UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy indicated the good visible light absorption of Bi25FeO40 crystallites. The photo-catalytic activity of Bi25FeO40 powders was evaluated by the degradation of methyl orange solution assisted by H2O2 under UV-Vis light and Vis-only light irradiation, which suggested that Bi25FeO40 crystallites are potential photocatalytic materials.

W-doped TiO2and W-La-codoped TiO2nanomaterials were successfully synthesized via the sol-gel method. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction, UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectrophotometer, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The presence of W and La results in significant red shift of absorption edge for TiO2-based nanomaterials. The weight ratios of La and W in the composites play important roles in the absorption edge for TiO2-based nanomaterials. The photocatalytic activities of both W-doped TiO2and W-La-codoped TiO2photocatalysts for decolorization of methyl orange solution were evaluated under simulated sunlight irradiation. The results showed that both W-doped and W-La-codoped can effectively improve the photocatalytic behaviors of TiO2nanomaterials ascribed to the improved photoinduced charge carriers separation, enhanced light absorption, and large surface area. Furthermore, W-La-codoped TiO2exhibited higher photocatalytic activity than W-doped TiO2. Considering their high photocatalytic activity, the doped TiO2nanomaterials could be applied in wastewater treatment and environmental purification.

Nanometer TiO2 photocatalysts were prepared by the sol–gel method. The catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, and other techniques. Methyl orange solution was used for the degradation of the organic material and ultrasonic technology was used to determine the photocatalytic performance of the catalysts. The results show that the photocatalytic performance of the Ni-N-TiO2 is clearly improved under ultrasonic conditions. The TiO2 photocatalytic degradation effect is optimal at a catalyst concentration of 0.3 g/L, an initial concentration of the organic matter of 0.03 mmol/L, a nickel-doping amount of 2 mol %, and a nitrogen-doping amount of 15 mol %. The use of ultrasound technology in combination with photocatalysis has a positive effect and results in a TiO2 degradation rate of methyl orange of 95 % after 3 h.

A silicon dioxide/carbon nano onions/titanium dioxide (SiO2/CNOs/TiO2) composite was synthesized by a simple sol-gel method and characterized by the methods of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electronic microscope (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TG), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectra (UV-Vis DRS). In this work, the photocatalytic activity of the SiO2/CNOs/TiO2 photocatalyst was assessed by testing the degradation rate of Rhodamine B (RhB) under visible light. The results indicated that the samples exhibited the best photocatalytic activity when the composite consisted of 3% CNOs and the optimum dosage of SiO2/CNOs/TiO2(3%) was 1.5 g/L as evidenced by the highest RhB degradation rate (96%). The SiO2/CNOs/TiO2 composite greatly improved the quantum efficiency of TiO2. This work provides a new option for the modification of subsequent nanocomposite oxide nanoparticles.
