Flower-like Bi2WO6 were successfully synthesized using the solvothermal method at different temperatures and characterized by XRD, FE-SEM, and DRS. We also investigated the photocatalytic activity of Bi2WO6 for the decomposition of rhodamine B under visible light irradiation. From XRD and SEM results, the reaction temperature has significant effects on the morphologies of the samples. From DRS results, Bi2WO6 samples displayed the absorption spectrum up to the visible region and then they showed the high photocatalytic activity under visible light irradiation, as a comparison with TiO2-P25.

BiOCl/(BiO)2CO3 composites with reactive exposed {001} facets have been synthesized by a one-step in situ solvothermal method. The synergistic effect of type-II band alignment and exposed high-energy facets enhances photocatalytic activity.

In this work, flower-like ZnIn2S4 microspheres were synthesized using a solvothermal method. The as-synthesized samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) techniques. The photocatalytic activity of the ZnIn2S4 microspheres was investigated. The ZnIn2S4 microspheres exhibit much higher photocatalytic activity than pure P25 TiO2.

Tungsten trioxide (WO3) is known as a visible light responsive photocatalyst, but its photocatalytic activity is relatively low, as compared to that of anatase titanium dioxide (TiO2). To enhance the activity, high specific surface areas are necessary. In this study, WO3particles with a hierarchical architecture, which was assemblies of spherical particles 20 – 30 nm in diameter, were synthesized by the solvothermal method. The hierarchical WO3particles had high specific surface areas and their photocatalytic activity was found to be 2.5 times higher than that of the commercial WO3.

A low temperature solvothermal method was employed to synthesize nitrogen-fluorine doped TiO2 materials (N/F -TiO2) at various mole ratio of Ti:F; 10:1, 10:0.3 and 10:0.1, for photocatalytic applications. Doping fluorine and nitrogen in the TiO2 structure extend the spectra response of the materials toward a visible region resulting in the high efficiency to oxidize methyl orange (MO) under UV-Vis irradiation. The microstructure and photocatalytic activity of the materials appeared to depend on titanium precursors, titanium isopropoxide (TTIP) or tetrabutyl orthotitanate (TBOT), and the concentration of dopant (NH4F). The highest MO decolorization efficiency under UV-Vis irradiation for 30 minutes is about 86 % by using N-F-TiO2 (TTIP precursor) with Ti: F of 10: 3 as catalyst. The decolorization efficiencies of MO over N-F-TiO2 materials (TTIP precursor) are twice higher than that of the undoped catalyst.
