Uniform 1D MoO3nanobelts were synthesized via a facile template-free hydrothermal process using (NH4)6Mo24·4H2O as raw materials. XRD, FE-SEM, HR-TEM techniques were employed to investigate the phase composition, morphology, and microstructure of as-synthesized samples. The MoO3nanobelts have single crystalline orthorhombic phase structure, preferentially grow in [001] direction. The photocatalytic properties were evaluated by the photodegradation of Rhodamine-B under visible light irradiation. The experimental result illustrated that the compound exhibits good photocatalytic performance for degradation of RhB under visible light irradiation.

Ba0.6Mg0.4TiO3 (BMT) particles with different morphologies were synthesized through hydrothermal method and their optical and photocatalytic properties were investigated. Their crystal structure and microstructures were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). XRD patterns demonstrate that the as-prepared samples are tetragonal structure. FESEM shows that BMT crystals can be fabricated in different morphologies by simply manipulating the reaction parameters of hydrothermal process. The UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectra (UV-vis DRS) reveal that the band gaps of BMT photocatalysts are about 2.37 - 2.51 eV. The as-prepared BMT photocatalysts exhibite higher photocatalytic activities in the degradation of methyl orange (MO) under visible light irradiation (λ > 420 nm) compared with traditional N-doped TiO2 (N-TiO2) and pure BaTiO3 (BTO). The high photocatalytic performance of BMT photocatalysts could be attributed to the recombination restraint of the e-/h+ pairs resulting from doping of Mg2+ ions. The influence of morphologies upon the photocatalytic properties of BMT was studied. Furthermore, BMT nanowires reveal the highest photocatalytic activity. Up to 94.0% MO is decolorized after visible light irradiation for 360 min.

In this study, visible-light-driven ZnO microrod-rGO heterojunction composites were successfully synthesized via a facile and scalable hydrothermal process. The prepared photocatalyst heterojunction was examined using different techniques including XRD, SEM, FTIR, UV-Vis spectroscopy, and TGA to reveal their crystal phase, morphology, and other optical properties. The photocatalytic performance of the obtained ZnO-rGO composites was measured by the photodegradation of phenol under visible light illumination. The addition of graphene over the catalyst exhibited an enhanced photocatalytic activity for phenol degradation due to its high surface area and decreasing rate of electron-hole separation. Kinetic studies proved that the degradation of phenol process happened by following the pseudo-first-order kinetic model. The effective conditions for degradation of phenol using ZnO-rGO composite were 0.2 g L-1catalyst dose, pH -4, and initial concentration 20 ppm of phenol solution. Comparing with ZnO microrods, the heterojunction composite degraded the organic pollutants of phenol solution up to 84.2% of efficiency displaying the highest photocatalytic activity, whereas urchin-like ZnO catalyst exhibited much less photocatalytic activity for phenol degradation under visible light irradiation. This result envisages immense properties, showing a great potential industrial application for the removal of phenolic wastewater.
