Gallic acid-modified magnetites were synthesized by one and two-step reactions via the newly developed sonochemical co-precipitation method. The two-step reaction included the formation of magnetite powder and mixing the magnetite powder with gallic acid solution, while the one-step reaction did not go through the formation magnetite powder. The obtained gallic acid-modified magnetites were characterized by the Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, the X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and the Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). More over, the magnetic properties were studied by using a Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM). The characterization results showed that there were differences in crystalinity, surface morphology and magnetic properties of products that were formed by one and two-step reactions.

The experiment used iron chloride, iron dichloride and other agents as the main resources to prepare the nano Fe3O4 powder by co-precipitation method. Magnets were used to test the magnetism of the prepared nano Fe3O4 powder samples. And the photo-catalytic degradation of rhodamine B solution was used as the model reaction to test the photo-catalytic activity of the prepared nano Fe3O4 powder. The results showed that the prepared nano Fe3O4 powder samples had good magnetism but low photo-catalytic activity.

Abstract Manganese dioxide (α-MnO2) nanorods with diameters of about 5-15 nm and lengths of 100-150 nm were synthesized by a simple co-precipitation method. XRD, TEM, HRTEM, SAED and XPS were used to analyze the crystallographic information, microstructure and chemical bonding of the as-prepared sample. The α-MnO2 nanorod exhibited a high efficiency and rapid removal rate of rhodamine B (RhB), which reached about 97.5% within 10 min when pH=4 (and pH=6.6) and 97.7% within 50 min when pH = 9 in the presence of H2O2. The results also indicated that a lower pH value is conducive to the movement of the characteristic peak and the attenuation of the intensity of the characteristic peak of RhB dye. Then a possible catalytic mechanism was revealed. Moreover, the α-MnO2 nanorod exhibits an excellent recyclability and catalytic stability. This research indicates that α-MnO2 nanorods have a potential application in practical dye pollutant treatment.

Synthesis of Ag3PO4 photocatalyst under the varied concentrations of AgNO3 and Na2HPO4·12H2O as starting material has been successfully synthesized using the co-precipitation method. The concentration of AgNO3 is 0.1; 0.5; 1.0; and 2.0 M, whereas Na2HPO4·12H2O is 0.03; 0.17; 0.33; and 0.67 M, respectively. The co-precipitations were carried out under aqueous solution. As-synthesized photocatalysts were examined to degrade Rhodamine B (RhB) under blue light irradiation. The results showed that varying concentrations of starting materials affect the photocatalytic activities, the intensity ratio of [110]/[200] facet plane, and their bandgap energies of Ag3PO4 photocatalyst. The highest photocatalytic activity of the sample was obtained by synthesized using the 1.0 M of AgNO3 and 0.33 M of Na2HPO4·12H2O (AP-1.0). This is due to the high [110] facet plane and increased absorption along the visible region of AP-1.0 photocatalyst. Therefore, this result could be a consideration for the improvement of Ag3PO4 photocatalyst.

In this work, a flower-shaped ZnO/GO/Fe3O4 ternary nanocomposite was synthesized via the co-precipitation method. Two significant goals of the study were boosting the degradation efficiency of ZnO and achieving a fast and simple synthesis approach. The structure, properties, and morphology of the product were characterized, and the effect of the ZnO flower-shaped structure in combination with GO nanosheets and magnetite nanoparticles was investigated on the photocatalytic activity. The structure and quality of the prepared nanocomposite were assessed by X-ray diffraction pattern, UV-visible DRS spectroscopy, Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM). The catalytic activity of the nanocomposite was assessed by spectrophotometric analysis. The developed nanocomposite offered high photodegradation efficiency in Rhodamine B degradation under UV-C light in comparison with pure ZnO. At a specific period, the efficiency of the synthesized sample was about two times greater than that of pristine ZnO particles. Our nanocomposite is anticipated to have practical benefits in wastewater treatment given its good performance, economic savings through reducing the amount of catalyst consumption and saving time, and being a facile and fast synthesis method.

The Ag3PO4 crystal with 200-600 nm in diameter was successfully synthesized using co-precipitation method with AgNO3 and Na2HPO4.12H2O as starting materials. The product was characterized using XRD, DRS, FTIR and SEM. The photocatalytic activities were evaluated under blue light irradiation assisted by Fe2+. The 1 mL of Fe2+ aqueous solutions consisted of 1.00, 0.10, 0.01, 0.001 and 0.0001 mM Fe2+ was added into a 100 mL solution of Rhodamine B, and the photocatalytic oxidation of Rhodamine B was carried out under visible light irradiation. The highest photocatalytic activity was observed when 1 ml of 0.001 mM of Fe2+ aqueous solution was added in the Rhodamine B solution. The result inferred the possibility of in-situ peroxide generation during the photocatalysis reaction.
