A new plasmonic Ag hybridized CuWO4/WO3 heterostructured nanocomposite was successfully synthesized via a ligand-assisted sol gel method and the photocatalytic activity was evaluated by photo-degradation of methylene blue (MB) under visible light irradiation.

Methylene blue (MB) is one of the commonly used dyes in the textile industry and can be used as a model pollutant for the textile industry wastewater. In this work, the photocatalytic degradation of MB by synthesized nanoparticles of lanthanum vanadate (LaVO4) was assessed. The effects of pH, initial MB concentration and catalyst dose on the removal performance of MB were investigated and measuring the optimum values of these operational conditions was performed using response surface methodology (RSM). Catalyst dose of 0.43 g/L, initial MB concentration of 5.0 mg/L, and pH of 6.86 were found to be the optimum conditions in reaction time of 60 min. A mathematical model was formed to relate the removal efficiency of MB to the aforementioned operating parameters. The removal efficiency of MB was 91% without any scavengers at a catalyst dose of 0.3 g/L, pH of 7 and initial MB concentration of 10 mg/L. The trapping experiments confirmed the participation of different reactive species in the photo-degradation process. The degradation rates of MB were 91%, 86%, 81%, 77.70% and 72% in five successive runs using LaVO4.

The C, N, S tri-doped TiO2 with high visible-light photo-catalysis effect was successfully prepared by mixing thiourea with the self-prepared TiO2 powder through calcining for 2h at 450°C. The TiO2 powder was obtained by homogeneous precipitation method using the metatitanic acid instead of expensive chemical reagents contained Ti as raw material. The effect of doping materials and methods on the photo-degradation rate of methylene blue and dyes was studied. The characterizations of the doped TiO2 were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and UV-visible absorption spectra (UV-vis). The results showed that this sample was the anatase TiO2 and contained elements C, N, S. The sample exhibited a significant response to ultraviolet and visible light. In the photo-degradation experiment, the C, N, S, tridoped-TiO2 could decolorize methylene blue and textile dyes quickly, and the photo-degradation rate of methylene blue could reach upward 98% after 3 hours under the different light sources.

Abstract NQR and powder X-ray diffraction were observed for several bromoantimonate (III) complexes which contain CnH2n+1NH3 (n = 1 -3) or (CnH2n+1)2NH2(n = 1 -4) as a cation. The bond character, anion structure, crystal structure, and phase transition are discussed on the basis of the three-center-four-electron bond. A good correlation was found between the halogen NQR frequency and the Sb-X bond length.
