Highly exposed {001} surfaces of ITD-TiO2 and IDT-TiO2 microspheres with self-assembled hierarchical structure were prepared by the two-step hydrothermal method. The degradation rate of MO by ITD-TiO2 was 99.0% after UV-light irradiation for 3.0 h.

ABSTRACTPhoto-stability of (C6H5C2H4NH3)2PbX4 (X; Br and I) films was studied and the degradation processes were discussed. The prepared films were not stable against the UV-light irradiation. The PhE-PbX4 films were readily oxidized by the UV-light irradiation in air. In vacuum, the PhE-PbI4 films changed to β-phenethylamine intercalated PbI2 due to the elimination of halogen species. On the contrary, no degradation was observed for the PhE-PbBr4 films. These results suggested that the photo-irradiation induced photochemical reaction was one of the possible reasons for the degradation. To suppress the oxidation and halogen elimination induced by the photochemical reaction, PMMA-coated PhE-PbX4 films were also fabricated and their photo-stability was examined.

hydrotermal method. Hydrotermal method is environmentally frendly way. This matter becaused hydrothermal method is using materials that are safe for life. Sodium hexa titanate is a semiconductor matterial that is widely used in various fields, such as is used as a photocatalyst material. From the characterization results, Na2Ti6O13 with size of 48.44 nm, and energy gap of 3.40 eV has been prepared. Na2Ti6O13 has a monoclinic crystal system with lattice parameters of a = 15.210 Å, b = 3.744 Å, c = 9.165 Å, and β = 99.050o. Photocatalyst activity was tested under UV light irradiation for 3 hours. Degradation of methylene blue (MB) by Na2Ti6O13 is found to be at 51%.Keywords: Photocatalyst, Na2Ti6O13, Degradation methylene blue

2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB) is a common taste and odor compound caused by off-flavor secondary metabolites, which represents one of the greatest challenges for drinking water utilities worldwide. A TiO2-coated activated carbon (TiO2/PAC) has been synthesized using the sol-gel method. A new TiO2/PAC photocatalyst has been successfully employed in photodegradation of 2-MIB under UV light irradiation. In addition, the combined results of XRD, SEM-EDX, FTIR and UV-Vis suggested that the nano-TiO2 had been successfully loaded on the surface of PAC. Experimental results of 2-MIB removal indicated that the adsorption capacities of PAC for 2-MIB were higher than that of TiO2/PAC. However, in the natural organic matter (NOM) bearing water, the removal efficiency of 2-MIB by TiO2/PAC and PAC were 97.8% and 65.4%, respectively, under UV light irradiation. Moreover, it was shown that the presence of NOMs had a distinct effect on the removal of MIB by TiO2/PAC and PAC. In addition, a simplified equivalent background compound (SEBC) model could not only be used to describe the competitive adsorption of MIB and NOM, but also represent the photocatalytic process. In comparison to other related studies, there are a few novel composite photocatalysts that could efficiently and rapidly remove MIB by the combination of adsorption and photocatalysis.
