A series of In0.1SnxZn0.85-2xS solid solutions was synthesized by hydrothermal method and employed as photocatalyst for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution under visible light irradiation. The structures, optical properties and morphologies of the solid solutions were studied by X-ray diffraction, diffuse reflectance UV–visible spectroscopy and field emission scanning electron microscopy. From the characterizations, it was confirmed that In0.1SnxZn0.85-2xS solid solution can be obtained and they have nanosized particles. The highest photocatalytic activity was observed on In0.1Sn0.03Zn0.79S photocatalyst, with average rate of hydrogen production 3.05 mmol/h, which was 1.2 times higher than the In0.1Zn0.85S photocatalyst.

ZnxCd1−xS solid solutions with uniform sizes and shapes were synthesized. Subsequent loading of MoS2 to one solution yielded a highly-active MoS2–Cd0.5Zn0.5S noble-metal-free photocatalyst; the highest H2 evolution rate was 12.30 mmol h−1 g−1 from water under visible light irradiation.

Advanced oxidation process using titanium dioxide as a photocatalyst under solar irradiation is one of the most attractive technologies to eliminate atrazine, an endocrine disrupting and carcinogen contaminant. The N, S-codoped TiO2nanowires at the calcination of 600°C obtained by a facile hydrothermal method revealed the best photocatalytic performance for the degradation of atrazine under visible light irradiation compared to N, S-codoped TiO2nanoparticles and S-doped TiO2nanowires. TOC removal experiment also exhibited the similar result and achieved 63% of atrazine mineralization within 6 h. The degradation of atrazine was driven mainly by•OH and holes during the photocatalytic process. Reactive species quantities such•OH andO2•-generated by N, S-codoped TiO2nanowires under visible light irradiation were much more than those of S-doped TiO2nanowires and N, S-codoped TiO2nanoparticles. These results were mainly attributed to the synergistic effect of N and S doping in narrowing the band gap, remarkable increase in electron-hole separation, extending the anatase-to-rutile transformation temperature above 600°C, and preferentially exposing high reactive{001}crystal facets of anatase.
