Synthesis,characterization and excellent photocatalytic activity of Ag/AgBr/MoO3 composite photocatalyst

A novel composite photocatalyst Ag/AgBr/MoO₃ was successfully synthesized via a simple precipitation method at room temperature. The obtained products were characterized by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy in detail. The photocatalytic activity of the samples was evaluated by monitoring the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) solution under visible-light irradiation. The results showed that the photocatalytic activity of Ag/AgBr/MoO₃ composite significantly enhanced and the degradation ratio of RhB reached 97.7 % after 15 min only. The excellent photocatalytic activity might be closely related to the large surface area, porosity structure and efficient separation of photoinduced electron–hole pairs. The possible reaction mechanism was also discussed.

Well crystalline undoped and Cd-doped ZnO rosette-like structures were successfully synthesized at low temperature (80 °C) via solution process technique during 30 min. Zinc nitrate, cadmium nitrate, sodium hydroxide and hexamine were used as starting materials. The morphology and microstructure were determined by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy.

Synthesis, microstructure, and photocatalysis of ZnO/CdS nano-heterostructure

ZnO/CdS nano-heterostructure with flower-like morphology is fabricated by a facile two-step precipitation method for use in photocatalytic degradation of organic dyes. The as-prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and UV-vis spectroscopy, demonstrating that the microstructure of the ZnO/CdS nano-heterostructure is composed of flower-like ZnO modified by CdS nanoparticles. The photocatalytic performance of ZnO/CdS nano-heterostructure is evaluated by the photodegradation of rhodamine B under the simulated sunlight, and the result indicates that the ZnO/CdS nano-heterostructure exhibits an appreciable photocatalytic property, which can be attributed to the extended photo-response range and the increased charge separation rate in the heterostructure.     

A twice liquid arc discharge approach for synthesis of visible-light-active nanocrystalline Ag:ZnO photocatalyst

Ag:ZnO hybrid nanostructures were successfully prepared by a twice arc discharge method in liquid. The visible light photocatalytic activities were successfully demonstrated for the degradation of Rhodamine B (Rh. B), Methyl orange (MO), and Methylene blue (MB) as standard organic compounds under the irradiation of 90 W halogen light for 2 h. The Ag:ZnO nanostructures were characterized by X-Ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy (UV-Vis). The results revealed that the Ag:ZnO nanostructures extended the light absorption spectrum toward the visible region and significantly enhanced the Rh. B photodegradation under visible light irradiation. 3 mM Ag:ZnO nanostructures exhibited highest photocatalytic efficiency. It has been confirmed that the Ag:ZnO nanostructures could be excited by visible light (E<3.3 eV). The significant enhancement in the Ag:ZnO nanostructures photocatalytic activity under visible light irradiation can be ascribed to the effect of physisorbed noble metal Ag by acting as electron traps in ZnO band gap. A mechanism for photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutant over Ag:ZnO photocatalyst was proposed based on our observations.

Microstructural and optical properties of europium-doped zinc oxide nanowires

Single-crystal Eu³⁺-doped wurtzite ZnO micro- and nanowires were synthesized by chemical vapor deposition. The nanostructures grew via a self-catalytic mechanism on the walls of an alumina boat. The structure and properties of the doped ZnO were characterized using X-ray diffraction, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, and photoluminescence (PL) methods. A 10-min synthesis yielded vertically grown nanowires of 50–400 nm in diameter and several micrometers long. The nanowires grew along the ±[0001] direction. The Eu³⁺ concentration in the nanowires was 0.8 at.%. The crystal structure and microstructure of were compared for Eu³⁺-doped and undoped ZnO. PL spectra showed a red shift in emission for Eu³⁺-doped (2.02 eV) compared to undoped ZnO nanowires (2.37 eV) due to Eu³⁺ intraionic transitions. Diffuse reflectance spectra revealed widening of the optical bandgap by 0.12 eV for Eu³⁺-doped compared to undoped ZnO to yield a value of 3.31 eV. Fourier-transform infrared spectra confirmed the presence of europium in the ZnO nanowires.     

Effect of surface species on Cu-TiO2 photocatalytic activity

The Cu-TiO₂ nanoparticles with different Cu dopant content were prepared by sol-gel method. The structure of the as-prepared catalysts and the surface species of Cu-TiO₂ were determined using X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and diffuse reflection spectroscopy (DRS). The relationship between the photocatalytic activity and the surface species of Cu-TiO₂ was revealed via the measurement of surface photovoltage spectroscopy (SPS) as well as the degradation of the rhodamine B (RhB). The experimental results suggest that the Cu-TiO₂ photocatalysts with appropriate content of Cu (about 0.06 mol%) possess abundant electronic trap, which effectively inhibits the recombination of photoinduced charge carriers, improving the photocatalytic activity of TiO₂. While at high Cu dopant region (>0.06 mol%), the excessive oxygen vacancies and Cu species can become the recombination centers of photoinduced electrons and holes. Meanwhile, at heavy Cu doping concentration, excessive P-type Cu₂O can cover the surface of TiO₂, which leads to decrease in the photocatalytic activity of photocatalyst. The photocatalytic experimental results are in good agreement with the conclusions of SPS measurements, indicating that there is a close relationship between the photocatalytic activity and the intensity of SPS spectra.
