The use of TiO2 as photocatalyst to degrade the organic compounds is an effective method of oxidation process and has been widely studied in environmental engineering. However, TiO2 absorbed the UV light which is only small part of sunlight reaching earth surface to activate photocatalytic procedure is a major disadvantage. Therefore, studies on the development of new TiO2 that its photocatalytic activity can be activated by visible light which is the major part of sunlight will be valuable for field application. In this study, we evaluate the photocatalytic degrading efficiency of porphyrins/TiO2 complexes on the organic pollutants under irradiation with visible light (λ= 419 nm). The results showed that the photodecomposition efficiency of methylene blue were up to 95% and 90% respectively after using NiTPP/TiO2 and ZnTPP/TiO2 irradiated with visible light for 6 h. These evidences reveal that the system of porphyrin/TiO2 complexes has significantly high efficiency of photocatalytic degradation under visible light irradiation.

Two-dimensional TiO2nanosheet films with visible light trapping nanostructures were successfully fabricated by alkali hydrothermal reaction using Ti sheet as precursor. Metallic Au nanoparticles (NPs) were then deposited on the surface of TiO2film through a microwave-assisted reduction process. The investigations reveal that the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of Au NPs is greatly enhanced by the overlapped light harvesting nanostructures between TiO2film and Au NPs, resulting in an enhanced LSPR-absorption with two peaks at 389 nm and 540 nm. The photocatalytic performance of the samples was evaluated by degradation of methylene blue (MB) as a model pollutant. The experimental results indicate that the photocatalytic performance of TiO2is greatly promoted by a synergetic effect between the overlapped light harvesting nanostructures and the improved charge carrier separation processes. The MB degradation over the optimal sample is much faster than that of pure TiO2film by a factor of 3.0 and 5.7 under UV light and UV + visible light irradiation, respectively. This study provides a simple strategy to develop film-shaped plasmonic photocatalysts with high efficiency.

Bi2MoO6/BiOI composites were synthesized by solvothermal method and photocatalytic performances were evaluated by degrading methylene blue (MB). Experiment results show that Bi2MoO6/0.5BiOI has the best photocatalytic efficiency for eliminating 92% MB in 2 h under the excitation of visible light. Such superior photocatalytic performance is due to the significantly enhanced ability to absorb visible light and separated efficiency of photogenerated electrons and holes.

Background: The development of high-efficiency visible-light-active photocatalysts to eliminate emerging contaminants is of great significance for environmental remediation and personal safety. Methods: In this work, BiOBr and two oxygen-rich bismuth oxybromide (Bi4O5Br2-EG and Bi4O5Br2-H2O) were synthesized by solvothermal method through the reaction of Bi3+ and Br- in different reaction medium (ethylene glycol or water) and alkali conditions. The composition, structure, morphology, light absorption, surface area, and surface feature of the synthetic bismuth oxybromides were systematically characterized. Due to the presence of ethylene glycol and OH-, the Bi4O5Br2-EG preferentially exposes the 010 facets. The formation of hierarchical flower-like structures of Bi4O5Br2- EG can be elucidated by the dissolution-recrystallization-growth mechanism. The bismuth oxybromides were then used for photocatalytic degradation of methyl parahydroxybenzoate (a commonly used preservative but exposes endocrine disrupting activity) under visible-light irradiation. Results: Since Bi4O5Br2-EG has a satisfactory band structure (bandgap energy ~2.61 eV, valence band potential +2.45 V), high surface area (49.0 m2g-1), and negatively charged surface, its photocatalytic removal efficiency of MPHB is 46.5 and 41.2 times that of BiOBr and Bi4O5Br2-H2O, respectively. During the photodegradation reaction, holes and superoxide radicals were recognized as the key reactive oxide species. Conclusion: In addition, the as-synthesized Bi4O5Br2-EG is stable and easy to reuse, suggesting it is a potential candidate for wastewater treatment.
