With n-butanol/CTAB/cyclohexane as micro emulsion system, sodium tungstate and hydrochloric acid as raw material, alkali metals (Na+, K+) nitrate as dopant, pure WO3、Na+-WO3, K+-WO3 and Na+/K+-WO3 powders were prepared by ultrasonic micro-emulsion method; And performances of samples were analyzed by visible spectrophotometer. Photocatalytic activity study show that alkali metal sodium ion and potassium ion doped, photocatalytic activities of WO3 are improved markedly; When doping amount is 1.0%, catalyst amount is 2g/L, methyl orange concentration is 20mg/L, degradation time is 80 min, Na+-WO3 powder has the best photocatalytic degradation performance at 460nm, and the degradation rate is as high as 65%.

In this paper, Cu-Ce/TiO2nano-particles, whose molar ratio account for 2%,2.5%,3%,3.5% and 4% respectively, were synthesized by sol-gel method, using Ti(C4H9O)4as the raw material, And the photocatalytic activities of the prepared samples were investigated by degrading formaldehyde gas under pure visible light through simulating indoor environment in the environmental test chamber. Moreover, X-Ray Powder Diffraction (XRD) and Ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer were applied to analyze the crystallite size and optical properties of the samples. It is indicated that the sample of 2.5% performs best in the test. Besides, photocatalytic mechanism of co-doping of Cu-Ce was discussed.

In this work, hierarchical hollow BiOBr submicrospheres (HBSMs) were successfully prepared via a facile yet efficient solvothermal strategy. Remarkable effects of solvents upon the crystallinities, morphologies, and microstructures of the BiOBr products were systematically investigated, which revealed that the glycerol/isopropanol volumetric ratio played a significant role in the formation of hollow architecture. Accordingly, the underlying formation mechanism of the hollow submicrospheres was tentatively put forward here. Furthermore, the photocatalytic activities of the resulting HBSMs were evaluated in detail with photocatalytic degradation of the organic methyl orange under visible light irradiation. Encouragingly, the as-obtained HBSMs with striking recyclability demonstrated excellent visible-light-responsive photocatalytic performance, which benefits from their large surface area, effective visible light absorption, and unique hollow feature, highlighting their promising commercial application in waste water treatment.
