A composited system was fabricated by coupling Pt/TiO2 with water-splitting catalyst for photooxidation of organic pollutants in aqueous solutions. The new composited system exhibits more efficient photocatalytic activity than pure Pt/TiO2 does under UV light irradiation. The promoting effect is dependent on the photo-produced H2 over the composited system. The active oxygen species, hydroxyl radical (·OH) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), are measured by fluorescence spectroscopy and photometric method, respectively. The results reveal that the produced H2 by photocatalytic water splitting over NiO/NaTaO3:La transfers to Pt particle of TiO2 surface, then reacts with introducing O2 to generate in situ intermediate H2O2, and finally translates into ·OH radical to accelerate the photooxidation of organic pollutants.

This study involves the investigation of altering the photocatalytic activity of TiO2using composite materials. Three different forms of modified TiO2, namely, TiO2/activated carbon (AC), TiO2/carbon (C), and TiO2/PANi, were compared. The TiO2/carbon composite was obtained by pyrolysis of TiO2/PANi prepared by in situ polymerization method, while the TiO2/activated carbon (TiO2/AC) was obtained after treating TiO2/carbon with 1.0 M KOH solution, followed by calcination at a temperature of 450°C. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TG-DTA), Brunauer-Emmet-Teller (BET), and UV-Vis spectroscopy were used to characterize and evaluate the prepared samples. The specific surface area was determined to be in the following order: TiO2/AC > TiO2/C > TiO2/PANi > TiO2(179 > 134 > 54 > 9 m2 g−1). The evaluation of photocatalytic performance for the degradation of methylene blue under UV light irradiation was also of the same order, with 98 > 84.7 > 69% conversion rate, which is likely to be attributed to the porosity and synergistic effect in the prepared samples.

In this study, the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue and congo red has been investigated using montmorillonite modified Cr-doped ZnO nanoparticles. Chromium doped zinc oxide nanoparticles were synthesized by co-precipitation method and were characterized using X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared absorption and UV-visible spectrophotometer. Furthermore these nanoparticles were explored to degradation of methylene blue and congo red in aqueous solution as model of organic pollutant under UV light irradiation. Comparison of degradation efficiency demonstrated that Cr-doped ZnO nanoparticles modified montmorillonite exhibited higher activity than pure Cr-doped ZnO.

TiO2/NCCN nanocomposites have been prepared by sol-gel and hydrothermal methods. Firstly, the NCCN was prepared by electrospinning technology, then the amorphous TiO2films were coated on the surface of the NCCN by a sol-gel method, and TiO2(anatase structure) nanoparticles could be fixed on the surface of NCCN by a hydrothermal method to get higher photocatalysis efficiency. The photocatalytic activities indicate that the TiO2/NCCN nanocomposites exhibited a good photocatalytic activity for photodegradation of methylthionine chloride (MO) solution under UV light irradiation, leading to an important application in photodegradation of organic pollutant.
