Tungsten trioxide (WO3) was surface modified with Cu(II) nanoclusters and titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanopowders by using a simple impregnation method followed by a physical combining method. The obtained nanocomposites were studied by scanning electron microscope, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy spectra, UV-visible light spectra, and photoluminescence, respectively. Although the photocatalytic activity of WO3was negligible under visible light irradiation, the visible light photocatalytic activity of WO3was drastically enhanced by surface modification of Cu(II) nanoclusters and TiO2nanopowders. The enhanced photocatalytic activity is due to the efficient charge separation by TiO2and Cu(II) nanoclusters functioning as cocatalysts on the surface. Thus, this simple strategy provides a facile route to prepare efficient visible-light-active photocatalysts for practical application.

A visible light active nitrogen-doped ZnO (N-ZnO) was synthesized using a solvent-free mechanochemical method and applied to degrade methylene blue (MB) dye in aqueous suspension. Results showed that nitrogen doping improved the photocatalytic activity of pristine ZnO by extending its spectral response to visible region. Using 2 g/L of N-ZnO, 98% MB with the initial concentration of 10 mg/L could be degraded within 2 h at pH 7 under 11.3 klux of visible light irradiation. After 6th run, it still exhibited appreciable photocatalytic activity with 94% MB degradation, indicating its high reusability though a simple pretreatment was performed.

Bi4Ti3O[Formula: see text]/Bi2S3 heterostructures with enhanced visible light photocatalytic activity are successfully synthesized via a two-step synthesis route based on a sol–gel hydrothermal method and a subsequent hydrothermal-ion exchange reaction technique. The structures, composition, morphologies and light absorption capability of Bi4Ti3O[Formula: see text]/Bi2S3 heterostructures are verified by XRD, XPS, SEM, TEM and UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectra, respectively. Results indicated that Bi2S3 nanorods are grown on the surface of the spherical structure assembled by criss-cross nanosheets of Bi4Ti3O[Formula: see text] after ion exchange reaction. The photocatalytic tests reveal that the Bi4Ti3O[Formula: see text]/Bi2S3 heterostructures showed much higher photocatalytic activity than pure Bi4Ti3O[Formula: see text] or Bi2S3. The tight interconnection between the two semiconductors will facilitate the photoinduced carriers’ separation. Owing to the easy preparation and excellent property, the obtained Bi4Ti3O[Formula: see text]/Bi2S3 heterostructures may be promising photocatalysts for practical application.
