Effect of thermal oxidation temperatures on the phase evolution and photocatalytic property of tungsten-doped TiO <sub/>2</sub> thin film
摘要： Tungsten-doped titanium dioxide (W-TiO2) thin films were successfully prepared on glass substrates by sputtering thermally oxidized W-doped titanium films in air. Tungsten-doped titanium films were deposited using a DC and RF magnetron cosputtering system. The effects of annealing treatment and W content on the W-TiO2 film microstructure were investigated. The crystalline structures, morphological features, and photocatalytic activity of the annealed W-TiO2 films were systematically studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and ultraviolet spectrophotometry. The results indicated that annealing at 550 °C clearly induced the formation of an anatase and rutile phase mixture in the 5.5 at. % W-TiO2 films, which directly affected photocatalytic activity. The W-TiO2 films showed good photocatalytic activity under UV-light irradiation, with a higher rate of methylene blue dye degradation than in the case of undoped TiO2.

A facile room-temperature synthesis of three-dimensional coral-like Ag2S nanostructure with enhanced photocatalytic activity
摘要： Morphology is a crucial factor in determining the chemical, optical, and electrical properties of nanoscale materials. In this work, we utilized a facile room-temperature deposition method to synthesize three-dimensional (3D) coral-like Ag2S nanostructures. The formation mechanism of 3D coral-like Ag2S nanostructures was proposed by tracking the reaction process. In comparison with 0D Ag2S nanoparticles and 1D Ag2S nanowires of similar size, 3D coral-like Ag2S nanostructures exhibit higher pore volume, photocatalytic activity and cyclic stability for degradation of methyl orange (MO). Surface photovoltage measurement, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and Mott–Schottky analysis showed that compared to other Ag2S nanostructures, 3D coral-like Ag2S nanostructures have the strongest surface photovoltaic response, longest carrier lifetime, and highest carrier density.

Structural, optical and photocatlytic properties of zinc oxide nanoparticles obtained by simple plant extract mediated synthesis
摘要： We report a facile and inexpensive method to prepare zinc oxide nanoparticles with different particle size and shape using Achyranthes aspera and Couroupita guianensis leaf extracts as the reducing agent and zinc nitrate as a precursor. The prepared zinc oxide nanoparticles were analyzed by various characterization methods and obtained results evidently revealed that crystalline parameter, purity, optical absorption, band gap, particle size and shape of the ZnO nanoparticles significantly influenced by the type of leaf extract used as reducing agent. Further, photocatlytic activity study obviously demonstrates that prepared samples exhibits superior photocatlytic activity for the degradation of methylene blue dye by creating superoxide anion radicals and OH radicals under photonic irradiation. Hence, prepared zinc oxide nanoparticles by plant extract mediated synthesis can be applied as a photocatlyst for the possible waste water treatment in textile industry.

摘要： In present study, zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructure anchored on carbon fabric (CF) was prepared using a combinational techniques of RF magnetron sputtering and hydrothermal method. The sputter seeded CF aided for the circumferential growth of ZnO nanostructure and its structural and optical characterization evidencing the c-axis orientation with the band gap of, 3.21 eV. ZnO nanostructure anchored CF was subjected towards UV light photocatalytic activity of p-nitrophenol for 150 min and remarkably higher activity of 98% was observed with better retrieval and recyclability upto 5 cycles. Because of these conspicuous features, it can serve as an expedient hybrid platform for photocatalytic application, better than the benchmark acid treated ZnO/CF.

Improving the Visible-Light Photocatalytic Activity of Graphitic Carbon Nitride by Carbon Black Doping
摘要： Hydrogen production by water splitting and the removal of aqueous dyes by using a catalyst and solar energy are an ideal future energy source and useful for environmental protection. Graphitic carbon nitride can be used as the photocatalyst with visible light irradiation. However, it typically suffers from the high recombination of carriers and low electrical conductivity. Here, we have developed a facile mix-thermal strategy to prepare carbon black-modified graphitic carbon nitrides, which possess high electrical conductivity, a wide adsorption range of visible light, and a low recombination rate of carriers. With the help of carbon black, highly crystallized graphitic carbon nitrides with built-in triazine and heptazine heterojunctions are obtained. Improved photocatalytic activities have been achieved in carbon black-modified graphitic carbon nitride. The dye removal rate can be three times faster than that of pristine graphitic carbon nitride and the photocatalytic H2 generation is 234 μmol h?1 g?1 under visible light irradiation.

The synthesis of graphene-TiO2/g-C3N4 super-thin heterojunctions with enhanced visible-light photocatalytic activities
摘要： In this paper, an efficient strategy for the synthesis of graphene nanobelt-titanium dioxide/graphitic carbon nitride (graphene-TiO2/g-C3N4) heterostructure photocatalyst was applied to fabricate a kind of visible-light-driven photocatalyst. The heterostructure shows higher absorption edge towards harvesting more solar energy compared with pure TiO2 and pure g-C3N4 respectively. Furthermore, the as-prepared graphene-TiO2/g-C3N4 heterostructure can show enhanced photocatalytic activity under visible-light irradiation. These outstanding performances of photocatalytic activities for graphene-TiO2/g-C3N4 composites can be attributed to the heterojunction interfaces which can separate the electron-hole pairs and impede the recombination of electrons and holes more efficiently. This study conclusively demonstrates a facile and environmentally friendly new strategy to design highly efficient graphene-TiO2/g-C3N4 heterostructure photocatalytic materials for potential applications under visible-light irradiation.

Zinc oxide quantum dots for textile dyes and real industrial wastewater treatment: Solar photocatalytic activity, photoluminescence properties and recycling process
摘要： Three samples of ZnO quantum dots (ZQDs) were synthesized by a modified sol–gel method at different temperatures for 3 h. The first sample (S1) was prepared at room temperature 27 °C, while second and third samples (S2) and (S3) were prepared by the calcination process at 500 and 900 °C, respectively. A study of XRD and TEM determines the purity, high crystallinity and the presence of elongated shape of the prepared catalysts. On using TEM, DRS and EBT analysis, the crystallite size values, bandgap energy, and active surface area were (7.1 nm, 3.49 eV, and 150.1 m2/g), (9.8 nm, 3.45 eV and 112.2 m2/g) and (13.5 nm, 3.39 eV and 78.94 m2/g) for S1, S2, and S3, respectively. The Photoluminescence properties showed that the fluorescence rate for S1 was doubled the observed one in the S2 sample. The photodegradation results of both methyl orange as an industrial raw material and real industrial wastewater of S1 sample showed the finest activity when compared with the rest samples. It was cleared from the collecting data that the photocatalytic performance decreases with the crystallite size increases The mineralization efficiency of the real industrial wastewater that exposed to sunlight for six months were evaluated according to the allowed COD limit for Egyptian Environmental Law, In addition the recycling process for reusable for ZnO prepared samples for 8 times investigated and evaluated.

Suppressing the Photocatalytic Activity of Zinc Oxide Electron-Transport Layer in Nonfullerene Organic Solar Cells with a Pyrene-Bodipy Interlayer
摘要： Organic solar cells based on nonfullerene acceptors have recently witnessed a significant rise in their power conversion efficiency values. However, they still suffer from severe instability issues, especially in an inverted device architecture based on the zinc oxide bottom electron transport layers. In this work, we insert a pyrene-bodipy donor?acceptor dye as a thin interlayer at the photoactive layer/zinc oxide interface to suppress the degradation reaction of the nonfullerene acceptor caused by the photocatalytic activity of zinc oxide. In particular, the pyrene-bodipy-based interlayer inhibits the direct contact between the nonfullerene acceptor and zinc oxide hence preventing the decomposition of the former by zinc oxide under illumination with UV light. As a result, the device photostability was significantly improved. The π?π interaction between the nonfullerene acceptor and the bodipy part of the interlayer facilitates charge transfer from the nonfullerene acceptor toward pyrene, which is followed by intramolecular charge transfer to bodipy part and then to zinc oxide. The bodipy-pyrene modified zinc oxide also increased the degree of crystallization of the photoactive blend and the face-on stacking of the polymer donor molecules within the blend hence contributing to both enhanced charge transport and increased absorption of the incident light. Furthermore, it decreased the surface work function as well as surface energy of the zinc oxide film all impacting in improved power conversion efficiency values of the fabricated cells with champion devices reaching values up to 9.86 and 11.80% for the fullerene and nonfullerene-based devices, respectively.

Patterning GaSe by High-Powered Laser Beams
摘要： We report the high-powered laser modification of the chemical, physical, and structural properties of the two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals material GaSe. Our results show that contrary to expectations and previous reports, GaSe at the periphery of a high-power laser beam does not entirely decompose into Se and Ga2O3. In contrast, we find unexpectedly that the Raman signal from GaSe gets amplified around regions where it was not expected to exist. Atomic force microscopy (AFM), dielectric force microscopy (DFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) results show that laser irradiation induces the formation of nanoparticles. Our analyses demonstrate that, except for a fraction of Ga2Se3, these nanoparticles still belong to the GaSe phase but possess different electrical and optical properties. These changes are evidenced in the increased Raman intensity attributed to the near-resonance conditions with the Raman excitation laser. The elemental analysis of nanoparticles shows that the relative selenium content increased to as much as 70% from a 50:50 value in stoichiometric GaSe. This elemental change is related to the formation of the Ga2Se3 phase identified by Raman spectroscopy at some locations near the edge. Further, we exploit the localized high-power laser processing of GaSe to induce the formation of Ag?GaSe nanostructures by exposure to a solution of AgNO3. The selective reaction of AgNO3 with laser-irradiated GaSe gives rise to composite nanostructures that display photocatalytic activity originally absent in the pristine 2D material. The photocatalytic activity was investigated by the transformation of 4-nitrobenzenethiol to its amino and dimer forms detected in situ by Raman spectroscopy. This work improves the understanding of light?matter interaction in layered systems, offering an approach to the formation of laser-induced composites with added functionality.

摘要： Cerium oxide nanoparticles were prepared by the reaction of cerium nitrate hexahydrate and sodium hydroxide. Cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (C19H42NBr) was added as a templating agent. The yellow precipitate obtained by the reaction was calcined with fullerene (C60) for 2 h at 700 °C in an electric furnace to synthesize CeO2-C60 nanocomposites. The synthesized samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy. The photocatalytic activity of the CeO2-C60 nanocomposites for the degradation of organic dyes such as methylene blue, brilliant green, rhodamine B and methyl orange upon irradiation with 254 nm UV light was investigated using a UV-visible spectrophotometer.
