Two-step synthesis of reduced graphene oxide with columnar-shaped ZnO composites and their photocatalytic performance with natural dye
摘要： Composites of ZnO with reduced graphene oxide were prepared in two-step synthesis process with constant temperature in variation with pH values. The synthesized composites were characterized and the results suggest that ZnO structure in the composites has a columnar morphology with an average diameter ranging 0.8–1.57 μm. The obtained properties of the composites with the present method confirmed that the material morphology influences the absorption and photocatalytic activity of natural dye under sunlight irradiation. The result shows that the maximum degradation efficiency is 64.40% achieved in 120 min.

Photocatalytic degradation of phenol by LaFeO3 nanocrystalline synthesized by gel combustion method via citric acid route
摘要： Focusing on the photocatalytic degradation of phenol under visible light, the synthesized lanthanum orthoferrites (LaFeO3) by gel combustion method using citric acid as sacrificial agent were investigated. With the highest reaction temperature of 200 °C, the physicochemical properties of synthesized samples were characterized by X-Ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, Brunauer–Emmet–Teller (BET), and Energy Dispersive X-Ray spectroscopy (EDS). On the other hand, UV–Vis spectroscopy analysis was carried out to determine the phenol photodegradation activities and mechanism. The results suggested the well-defined LaFeO3 nanocrystals with specific area of 28 m2 g?1 were successfully synthesized. Besides that, variations in operating parameters such as pH, catalyst dosage and initial concentration of phenol in synthetic wastewater were also examined. In conclusion, LaFeO3 nanocrystalline exhibited an exceptional photocatalytic activity for phenol degradation, thus providing a perfect alternative for pharmaceutical wastewater treatment.

Interfacial engineering of Fe2O3@BOC heterojunction for efficient detoxification of toxic metal and dye under visible light illumination
摘要： Recent developments of small band gap semiconductor coupled bismuth carbonate (BOC) heterojunction are advantageous for photocatalysis application because of their improved solar harvesting ability and enhanced charge-carrier collection. In this work, we have developed iron (III) oxide decorated bismuth carbonate (Fe2O3@BOC) heterojunction via a simple two-step process. The developed heterojunction exhibits excellent photocatalytic activity towards reduction of carcinogenic and mutagenic Cr(VI) to nontoxic Cr(III) and degradation of toxic dye [methylene blue (MB)] under visible light illumination. Further investigation revealed that the loading of Fe2O3 nanoparticles had an impact on efficient charge carrier collection at the interface of Fe2O3@BOC heterojunctions. The unprecedented photocatalytic activity for Fe2O3@BOC1 heterojunction at room temperature could be attributed due to the enhancement in light absorption ability and suppression of electron–hole pair recombination at the heterojunction interface. In addition, reduction in efficacy of the heterojunction with increase in loading of Fe2O3 nanoparticles on BOC surface further confirms the role of interface on the modulation of photocatalytic activity. The role of photogenerated electrons and reactive oxygen species involved during photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI) and degradation of MB was studied in detail. Moreover, recyclability experiment demonstrates that the developed photocatalyst can be reused without decay in performance. Finally, development of inexpensive prototype reactor is demonstrated towards reduction of Cr(VI) and degradation of MB under continuous flow operation. Thus, good efficacy of the developed reactor for cleaning of toxic pollutants in water makes the heterojunction (Fe2O3@BOC1) a promising photocatalyst for water purification in near future.

Photocatalytic Activity of ZnO Nanopowders: The role of production techniques in the formation of structural defects
摘要： The effect of the type of structural defect in zinc oxide on its photocatalytic properties was studied for phenol photodegradation under UV-irradiation. It was shown that the use of different types of precursors (zinc oxalate and zinc hydroxide) for the production of zinc oxide leads to the formation of a material with the same phase composition and equal energy of the forbidden band, but different photocatalytic activities. Simultaneously, the peculiarities of the luminescence and electron spin resonance spectra indicate the formation of different types of defects in the structure of the material, namely, oxygen vacancies (Vo) in the anionic and zinc vacancies (VZn) in the cationic sublattices of zinc oxide synthesised from the zinc oxalate and hydroxide, respectively. Also, the different characteristics of the luminescence decays reveal the different recombination paths for the free charge carriers in the systems synthesised from the different precursors. The different times of the luminescence decay also confirmed the different methods of recombination of free charge carriers in systems synthesised from different precursors. It was shown that the appearance of defects in the cationic sublattice leads to a decrease in the photocatalytic activity of the material relative to phenol degradation.

Low-cost effective photocatalytic activity under visible light of pitch-based porous carbon nanofiber composites aided by zinc oxide
摘要： To explore and develop an economical, novel, and effective photocatalyst for the degradation of methylene blue (MB) under visible-light irradiation, polyacrylonitrile (PAN)/pitch-based carbon nanofibers (CNFs) with ZnO (PPZn) are successfully produced by one-step electrospinning of PAN, pitch, and zinc acetate in dimethylformamide (DMF) solution. The charge separation rate, adsorption capacity, and visible-light harvesting effects are all enhanced by the synergistic effect of PAN/pitch-based CNFs and ZnO coupling. The resulting PPZn photocatalysts exhibit excellent removal capacity of 100% of MB within 30 min and a kinetic rate constant of 0.018 min?1 under visible light. PPZn also exhibits a consistent and stable photocatalytic performance by maintaining nearly 100% removal of 15 ppm MB over 8 regeneration cycles. The PP-based CNFs in PPZn act as a charge reservoir to afford fast transport for suppressing the e?–h? recombination and high electrical conductivity induced by the pitch, thereby expanding the visible-light response. The PP(3)Zn composites demonstrate a promising potential as a low-cost photocatalyst material offering excellent photocatalytic efficiency in the visible-light spectrum.

Facile green synthesis of Degraded-PVA coated TiO2 nanoparticles with enhanced photocatalytic activity under visible light
摘要： Grafting with conjugated structures has been proven to be an effective strategy to enhance the visible-light photocatalytic activity of TiO2, however, the preparation of conjugated structures modified TiO2 nanoparticles usually involves several tedious treatment steps and large amounts of organic solvents. In this research, a facile and green method to synthesize Degraded-PVA coated TiO2 (TiO2@D-PVA) nanoparticles containing conjugated structures was prepared. This method avoided using organic solvents and successfully coated D-PVA onto the surface of TiO2 just via physical mixing, centrifugation, and calcination. In addition, the content of D-PVA in TiO2@D-PVA could be controlled by the concentration of the PVA solution. Under visible light irradiation, the TiO2@D-PVA containing approximately 5 wt% D-PVA demonstrated an optimal photocatalytic activity which is 5.5 times higher than that of commercial P25 TiO2 nanoparticles. The Ti-O-C bonds and the conjugated structures in D-PVA could facilitate the electron transfer between D-PVA and TiO2, thus contributing to the enhanced visible light photocatalytic activity.

Effect of operational parameters on the photocatalytic degradation of Methylene blue dye solution using manganese doped ZnO nanoparticles
摘要： Photocatalytic degradation of aqueous solution of methylene blue dye under UV light illumination was studied by using manganese doped ZnO (Zn1-xMnxO, where x = 0.00, x = 0.02 and x = 0.05) nanoparticles as a photocatalyst. The nanophotocatalysts were synthesized by wet chemical co-precipitation method. The structural, morphological, and optical properties of the photocatalysts were done by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron microscope (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-Ray (EDX), photoluminescence (PL), Fourier Transform Infrared Ray (FTIR) and UV- visible spectroscopic techniques. An improved photocatalytic efficiency of ZnO was observed upon doping with Mn and 2% Mn-doped ZnO exhibited the highest photocatalytic activity among the doped samples. The effect of operating parameters such as amount of catalyst, the initial dye concentration, and initial pH on the rate of dye degradation using 2% Mn-doped ZnO was studied. Under the optimum operation conditions, approximately 99% of dye removal was achieved after 120 min of irradiation.

Preparation of 3D flower-like Fe-Bi2O3 nanocomposite and its photocatalytic performance under visible light irradiation
摘要： The objective followed by this research is the synthesis of 3D ?ower-like Fe-Bi2O3 and the study of its capability for the degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) under visible light irradiation (λ > 400 nm). Samples were obtained by a simple sol–gel method at room temperature. The as-prepared Fe-Bi2O3 exhibited excellent photocatalytic performance under the visible light due to its relatively narrow band gap energy (2.83 eV). The photocatalytic activity was carefully evaluated with respect to RhB photodegradation in di?erent conditions such as light source and reaction time. The experimental results showed that the degradation rate of 3D ?ower-like Fe-Bi2O3 is up to 82% under visible light irradiation, when EtOH/H2O volume ratio and Bi/Fe molar ratio are 7:3 and 20:1, respectively.

One-pot synthesis of visible-light-driven photocatalyst for degradation of Rhodamine B: graphene based bismuth/bismuth(III) oxybromide
摘要： A ternary photocatalyst, graphene based bismuth modified bismuth(III) oxybromide (Bi/BiOBr/G), was synthesized via a facile one-step solvothermal method using only ethylene glycol as both solvent and reducing reagent. Bi/BiOBr/G exhibits higher photocatalytic activity than bismuth(III) oxybromide (BiOBr) on degradation of Rhodamine B under visible-light illumination, and the photodegradation rate is 4.9 times that of BiOBr. The enhanced photocatalytic activity is attributed to the synergistic effect among Bismuth, graphene and BiOBr, which can effectively promote the visible-light absorption of Bi/BiOBr/G and the separation of photogenerated charge carriers. The conditions influencing the photocatalytic performance of Bi/BiOBr/G were also investigated in detail, as well as the photocatalytic mechanism of the degradation.

Enhanced sunlight photocatalytic performance of ZnO/ZnS binary heterostructure sheets
摘要： The 2D binary heterostructured ZnO/ZnS sheets were prepared via a hydro-thermal synthesis method. The X-ray diffraction results illustrated that ZnS was successfully formed on ZnO sheets. The images captured by field emission scanning electron microscopy showed the granular structure with fine particles on the surface, which increases the contact area between dye solution and catalysts. The EDS spectrum suggested that the surface of the heterojunction was almost entirely coated with ZnS. The UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra clarified that the ultraviolet and visible absorption of heterostructure were both enhanced. These results all contribute to the efficient methyl orange degradation with the degradation rate of 83 % in 4 h under direct sunlight.
