The article presents the results of the studies of the physicochemical and photocatalytic properties of titanium dioxide modified with manganese, by the example of decomposition of organic dyes — ferroin and methylene blue. The correlations between the specific surface area and phase composition of the composites with their photocatalytic activity are revealed.

In this study, commercial and lab-prepared TiO2 were modified by fluorination and platinum photodeposition; and the effect of these modifications over the physicochemical and photocatalytic properties of TiO2 was evaluated. It was found that F and Pt addition leads to the modification of the optical and textural properties of TiO2. The materials prepared were tested in the photocatalytic degradation of different organic dyestuffs such as methylene blue (MB) and methyl orange (MO); the degradation of commercial anilines employed in the staining of natural fibers was also evaluated. Photocatalysis was also studied in this work as an eco-friendly treatment of wastewater coming from handicrafts factories. In general it was observed that the effectiveness of the photocatalytic treatment strongly depends on the substrate to be degraded, thus, fluorinated and platinized commercial Titania (Pt-F-P25) showed the best photocatalytic performance in the MB and MO photodegradation and in contrast, in the case of the anilines the highest degradation was obtained over commercial TiO2 fluorinated (F-P25). These results can be explained by differences observed in the structure and in the adsorption of these dyestuffs over the photocatalysts surfaces. F-P25 photocatalyst also demonstrated to be the best material for the treatment of real wastewater coming from handicrafts factories.

Er3+ doped ZnO-TiO2 nanofibers with diameter of 100~200 nm were prepared by electrospinning mothed after calcined at high temperature, using polyvinylpyrrolidone(PVP), Zn(NO3)2·6H2O, Er(NO3)3·5H2O, Ti(OC4H9)4 asraw materials. The composite nanofibers were characterized by XRD, SEM, and UV-V respectively. Effects of different calcined temperatures on structure and photocatalytic degradation were investigated. The results indicated that the crystallinity becomes better with the increasing of calcination temperature. The composite nanofibers had the best effects of photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue, when Er3+ doping content was 0.3 wt.% and calcined temperature was 500 °C.

Abstract In this study, a combustion method as an efficient, easy, low-cost, and eco-friendly technique was used to synthesize nano-ZnO as a matrix with different yttrium doping ratios with different doping concentrations. Not only X-ray diffraction (XRD), but also scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier transformation Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) technique employed to characterize the structural and surface morphology of the Y2O3-ZnO nanocomposites. The obtained results supported ZnO's growth from crystalline to satisfactory nanoparticle structure by changing the yttrium doping concentrations inside ZnO nanoparticles. Moreover, UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, AC electrical conductivity, and current-voltage characteristics were considered to characterize the effects of yttrium doping on the energy bandgaps and electrical/dielectric properties and discussed the parameters of the ceramic varistors of the studied Y2O3-ZnO nano-complex oxides. The photocatalytic degradation efficiency of phenol, Methylene Blue, and Rhodamine B was investigated using all prepared Y2O3-ZnO nanostructured samples. As the yttrium doping ratios increased, the photocatalytic efficiency increased. After the addition of moderate Y3+ ions-doping, Further generation of hydroxyl radicals over ZnO. For Y2O3-ZnO (S5), the optimal photocatalyst is a degradation of 100 % of phenol, Methylene Blue, and Rhodamine B solutions compared to 80% of photocatalysis for ZnO stand alone. The prepared Y2O3-ZnO nanostructured materials are considered novel potential candidates in broad nano-applications ranging from biomedical and photocatalytic degradation for organic dyes and phenol to environmental and varistor applications.
