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.

To suppress the agglomeration of a photocatalyst, facilitate its recovery, and avoid photolysis of dyes, various support materials such as ceramic, carbon, and polymer have been investigated. However, these support materials pose the following additional challenges: ceramic supports will settle down at the bottom of their container due to their high density, while the carbon support will absorb the UV-vis light for its black color. Herein, we propose a floatable, UV transmitting, mesoporous bleached wood with most lignin removal to support P25 nanoparticles (BP-wood) that can effectively, recyclable, three dimensional (3D) photocatalytic degrade dyes such as methylene blue (MB) under ambient sunlight. The BP-wood has the following advantages: (1) The delignification makes the BP-wood more porous to not only quickly transport MB solutions upstream to the top surface, but is also decorated with P25 nanoparticles on the cell wall to form a 3D photocatalyst. (2) The delignification endows the BP-wood with good UV transmittance to undergo 3D photocatalytic degradation under sunlight. (3) It can float on the surface of the MB solution to capture more sunlight to enhance the photodegradation efficiency by suppressing the photolysis of MB. (4) It has comparable or even better photocatalytic degradation of 40 mg/L and 60 mg/L MB than that of P25 nanoparticles suspension. (5) It is green, recyclable, and scalable.

Three-dimensional (3D) ordered SiO2 macroporous materials doped with metal oxides (M = Co, Fe, Ni, and Sn) were synthesized respectively, using poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) spheres as templates. The porous structure and morphology of samples has been characterized by TEM images. Further investigation of the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue in the presence of H2O2, the observed photocatalytic performance of the samples was attributed to the effects of the metal oxides and porosity.

Four kinds of Cu2O microcrystals with different morphologies are synthesized via low temperature hydrothermal synthetic method. The photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) of the above different Cu2O is preliminary explored based on this observation. 6-facet, 8-facet, 14-facet are prepared by PVP system and 26-facet is prepared by NaOH system. They are characterized by means of Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Diffuse Reflectance Spectra (DRS). Under 150 W xenon lamp irradiation, 0.5 gL1 catalyst and 0.1% (v/v) 30% H2O2 as co-catalyst are used to degrade 5% 100 mL MB solution. The reaction time is 80 min. 26-facet Cu2O polyhedral discolor about 89.48% of MB while 6-facet Cu2O microcrystal about discolor about 20.18% which is the lowest decolourization rate among all the samples. The photocatalytic performance of 8-facet Cu2O microcrystal is slight better than that of 14-facet. The decolourization rate of 8-facet and 14-facet are 56.00% and 41.08%, respectively. The main reason is that the planes of Cu2O microcrystal have a main influence on photocatalytic degradation of MB.
