Abstract A novel binary BiSI/Ag2CO3 photocatalyst with excellent visible light-driven photocatalytic performance was prepared. The products were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The photocatalytic activity of the samples were evaluated by photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B(RhB) under the irradiation of visible light. The results showed that the BiSI improves the photocatalytic activity of BiSI/Ag2CO3. Moreover, when the mass ratio of BiSI in BiSI/Ag2CO3 composites was 40%, the as-prepared BiSI/Ag2CO3 composite exhibited the best photocatalytic activity for degrading RhB. Finally, the possible mechanism for photodegradation over the BiSI/Ag2CO3 composites is also proposed.

The dye wastewater produced in the printing and dyeing industry causes serious harm to the natural environment. TiO2 usually shows photocatalytic degradation of dye under the irradiation ultravilet light rather than visible light. In this work, a large number of oxygen vacancies and Ti3+ defects were generated on the surface of the TiO2 nanoparticles via Ar plasma. Compared with pristine TiO2 nanoparticles, the as-obtained Ar plasma-treated TiO2 (Ar-TiO2) nanoparticles make the energy band gap reduce from 3.21 eV to 3.17 eV and exhibit enhanced photocatalytic degradation of organic dyes. The Ar-TiO2 obtained exhibited excellent degradation properties of methyl orange (MO); the degradation rate under sunlight irradiation was 99.6% in 30 min, and the photocatalytic performance was about twice that of the original TiO2 nanoparticles (49%). The degradation rate under visible light (λ > 400 nm) irradiation was 89% in 150 min, and the photocatalytic performance of the Ar-TiO2 was approaching ~4 times higher than that of the original TiO2 nanoparticles (23%). Ar-TiO2 also showed good degradation performance in degrading rhodamine B (Rho B) and methylene blue (MB). We believe that this plasma strategy provides a new method for improving the photocatalytic activity of other metal oxides.

Tungsten trioxide (WO3) nanostructures were synthesized by a hydrothermal method, and the influence of essential hydrothermal conditions, temperature and time, on their crystal structure, morphology and visible-light driven photocatalysis was studied. The hydrothermal temperature was varied from 120 °C to 200 °C, and the hydrothermal time changed from 12 h to 32 h. The crystal structure, morphology and photocatalytic performance of WO3 nanostructures were characterized by XRD, SEM and UV-Vis. The crystal structure of WO3 nanostructure was triclinic phase and their morphology was mainly one dimensional nanorods. Methylene blue was used as the target to evaluate their photocatalytic performance under visible light (λ>420 nm). The photocatalytic results suggest the suitable hydrothermal conditions to synthesize WO3 nanostructures for the wastewater treatment application.

Bi2MoO6/BiOI composites were synthesized by solvothermal method and photocatalytic performances were evaluated by degrading methylene blue (MB). Experiment results show that Bi2MoO6/0.5BiOI has the best photocatalytic efficiency for eliminating 92% MB in 2 h under the excitation of visible light. Such superior photocatalytic performance is due to the significantly enhanced ability to absorb visible light and separated efficiency of photogenerated electrons and holes.
