V-modified titania nanorod-aggregates were fabricated by microwave hydrothermal route. MWV05 exhibited optimal solar activity towards PCP-Na, due to red-shift by V-doping, carriers separation by V4+/V5+ synergistic effects and charge migration along the nanorods.

AbstractWurtzite-type Zn1−x MnxO (x = 0, 0.03, 0.05, 0.07) nanostructures were successfully synthesised using a simple microwave-assisted hydrothermal route and their catalytic properties were investigated in the cellulose conversion. The morphology of the nanocatalysts is dopant-dependent. Pure ZnO presented multi-plate morphology with a flower-like shape of nanometric sizes, while the Zn0.97Mn0.03O sample is formed by nanoplates with the presence of spherical nanoparticles; the Zn0.95Mn0.05O and Zn0.93Mn0.07O samples are mainly formed by nanorods with the presence of a small quantity of spherical nanoparticles. The catalyst without Mn did not show any catalytic activity in the cellulose conversion. The Mn doping promoted an increase in the density of weak acid sites which, according to the catalytic results, favoured promotion of the reaction.

Uniform flowerlike microspheres Cd2+/Fe3+ co-doped BiOBr were prepared with the aid of the microwave hydrothermal process. The results indicate that the degradation performance of Bi1−xCdxOBr and Bi1−xFexOBr are 1.31 and 2.05 times that of BiOBr for RhB, respectively. Moreover, the novel Cd2+/Fe3+ co-doped BiOBr photocatalysts with ~0.42 eV impurity bands presented remarkably enhanced photocatalytic activities with being 3.10 times that of pure BiOBr, by achieving e−/h+ efficient separation and narrowed bandgap with the ions synergistic effect of Cd2+ and Fe3+. Based on DFT insights, the photodegradation mechanism was systematically studied that the conversion of multivalent Fe3+ ions promoted the production of •O2−, and Cd2+ ions worked as electron transfer mediators, which elucidated that the •O2− and h+VB mainly participated in the catalytic reaction. The experimental and theoretical results show that the synergistic effects of multi-ion doping have great potential in the field of photocatalysis.

Magnetic-field-accelerated photocatalytic degradation of the phenol red (PR) as a model organic pollutant was studied using rare-earth elements modified BiFeO3 (Bi1−xRxFeO3 (R = Ce, Tb; x = 0.0, 0.05, 0.10 and 0.15); BFO: RE) nanostructures. The nanostructures were prepared via the hydrothermal process and their morphological, structural, functional, optical and magnetic features were investigated in detail. The effect of magnetic fields (MFs) on photocatalysis were examined by applying the different MFs under visible light irradiation. The enhanced photodegradation efficiencies were achieved by increasing the MF up to 0.5T and reduced at 0.7T for the compositions x = 0.10 in both Ce and Tb substituted BFO. Further, mineralization efficiencies of PR, reproducibility of MF-assisted photocatalysis, stability and recyclability of BFO: RE nanostructures were also tested.
