Composite photocatalysts using TiO2 coated by Multi-walled carbon nanotues(MWCNTs) and CdS were prepared by sol-gel process. The purpose of adding MWCNTs and CdS was extending the light absorbance range of pure TiO2 to visible light. Methyl orange (MO) was chosen as an object. The degradation of MO by MWCNTs/TiO2/CdS composite photocatalysts under visible light irradiation was studied. The results showed that the presence of MWCNTs and CdS can enhance the photoefficiency of TiO2 greatly. In addition, The photocatalyst was used for five cycles with photocatalytic degradation efficiency still higher than 96%. The photocatalytic degradation of MO followed a first-order kinetics according to the Langmuir-Hinshelwood model. A possible decomposing mechanism for the photocatalytic oxidative degradation was also discussed. The results of the study showed the potential use of MWCNTs/TiO2/CdS composite in degradation of toxic organic pollutants.

Abstract Numerous reports have elucidated that TiO2 nanoparticles (TiO2-NPs) exhibit respectable photocatalytic degradation capacities due to their high specific surface areas. However, the current recovery process leads to a loss of TiO2-NPs; therefore, there is a need to immobilize TiO2-NPs on the substrate used. Herein, TiO2-coated yttria-stabilized zirconia/silica nanofiber (TiO2-coated YSZ/silica NF) was prepared by coating TiO2 on the surface of YSZ/silica NF using a sol–gel process. The TiO2 coating layer on the nanofiber surface improved the separation ability of the membrane as well as the photocatalytic degradation ability. The pore size of the TiO2-coated YSZ/silica NF membrane was less than that of the pristine YSZ/silica NF membrane, and it rejected over 99.6% of the 0.5 μm polymeric particles. In addition, the TiO2-coated YSZ/silica NF membrane showed excellent adsorption/degradation of humic acid (HA, 88.2%), methylene blue (MB, 92.4%), and tetracycline (TC, 99.5%). Six recycling tests were performed to evaluate the reusability of the TiO2-coated YSZ/silica NF membrane. The adsorption/degradation efficiency for HA, MB, and TC decreased by 3.7%, 2.8%, and 2.2%, respectively. We thus verified the high separation ability, excellent photocatalytic degradation ability, and excellent reusability of the TiO2-coated YSZ/silica NF membranes.
