CdS quantum-dots-(QDs-)dopedTiO2nanocomposites were successfully synthesized using the sol-gel technique and characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD, EDS, UV-Vis, and FS. They were then used as a new “photosensitizer” based on photodynamic therapy (PDT) for cancer-cell treatment. The photocatalytic activities of CdS-TiO2on leukemia tumors were investigated by using Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. The ultrastructural morphology of treated cells was also studied by AFM. The experimental results indicated that an obvious inhibition of tumor growth would be observed in groups treated with CdS-TiO2nanocomposites, and the PDT efficiency in the presence of CdS-dopedTiO2was significantly higher than that ofTiO2, revealing that the photocatalytic activities ofTiO2could be effectively enhanced by the modification of CdS QDs. Additionally, CdS-TiO2can exhibit a very high photodynamic efficiency of 80.5% at a final concentration of 200μg/mL under visible-light irradiation. CdS-TiO2nanocomposites in this case were regarded as a promising application for cancer-cell treatment.

Opal as a carrier, tetrabutyl titanate as a titanium source, TiO2 loaded on opal was prepared by sol-gel technique. The photocatalysts were characterized by XRD, TEM and UV-VIS absorption spectrum. Their photocatalytic activities were examined by the photocatalytic decolorization of methylene blue solution under UV light irradiation. The effects of calcination temperature, the amount of TiO2 loading and pH on photocatalytic activities were discussed. The results show that TiO2 supported on opal induced enhancement of photocatalytic decolorization rant and TiO2 doping is about 30 wt. % with 92.15% of decolorization rate at 700°C.

Abstract Nanosized, magnetically separable bismuth ferrite (BFO) nanoparticles, pertaining a crystallite size in the range of 14–15 nm were prepared via facile sol-gel technique. The product was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The product was explored for the photocatalytic mineralization of rhodamine B (RB) dye in aqueous medium. The effect of different investigational parameters such as amount of photocatalyst, initial dye concentration and irradiation time on the photocatalytic degradation of RB was studied. The results reveal that the catalyst shows good degrading ability under normal pH and visible light conditions. BFO nanoparticles demonstrated a strong absorption ability in the visible-light region, which lead to efficient photocatalytic degradation of RB dye The reaction system was heterogeneous in nature in which the catalyst can be separated by a normal magnet.

Photocatalytic activity ofTiO2nanoparticles was successfully enhanced by addition of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) to make CNT/TiO2nanocomposites by sol-gel method at ambient temperature. CNT treated by HNO3 : H2SO4treatment (1 : 3 v/v) was mixed withTiO2nanoparticles at various molar ratios and calcination temperatures. The optimal molar ratio of CNT : TiO2was found at 0.05 : 1 by weight. The optimal calcination condition was 400°C for 3 h. From the results, the photocatalytic activities of CNT/TiO2nanocomposites were determined by the decolorization of 1 × 10−5 M methylene blue (MB) under visible light. CNT/TiO2nanocomposites could enhance the photocatalytic activity and showed faster for the degradation of MB with only 90 min. The degradation efficiency of the MB solution with CNT/TiO2nanocomposite achieved 70% which was higher than that with pristineTiO2(22%). This could be explained that CNT preventsTiO2from its agglomeration which could further enhance electron transfer in the composites. In addition, CNT/TiO2nanocomposites had high specific surface area (202 m2/g) which is very promising for utilization as a photocatalyst for environmental applications.

In this work, CdS quantum dots (QDs) were planted on magnetically recyclable porous Fe2O3 (denoted as F450) to obtain CdS QDs/porous Fe2O3 hybrids (denoted as X–CdS/F450, in which X is the immersion times of CdS QDs). Porous Fe2O3 was first obtained by pyrolysis from an iron-containing metal–organic framework by a two-step calcination method. Next, CdS QDs (of average size 3.0 nm) were uniformly and closely attached to the porous F450 via a sequential chemical-bath deposition strategy. As expected, the X–CdS/F450 hybrids serve as high-performance photocatalysts for the degradation of bisphenol A, a typical endocrine-disrupting chemical. Almost ∼100% of the bisphenol A was degraded over 5-CdS/F450 after visible light irradiation for 30 min (λ ≥ 420 nm). In comparison, the degradation efficiency of pure F450 powder is 59.2%. The high performance of 5-CdS/F450 may be ascribable to the fast electron transport of porous F450, the intense visible-light absorption of the CdS QDs and the matched energy levels between CdS and F450. More significantly, through the photocatalytic degradation reaction, the X–CdS/F450 hybrids can easily be recovered magnetically and reused in subsequent cycles, indicating their stability and recyclability.

Photocatalytic Activities

A series of La1-xCexNiO3 photocatalysts with different content of cerium element have been synthesized by sol-gel method. The as-prepared products were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The photocatalytic activities of these La1-xCexNiO3 composites under visible-light irradiation were evaluated by the degradation of methyl orange (MO). The effect of important operational parameters such as catalyst amount, reaction temperature, irradiation time, and comparison of photocatalytic activity with different dyes including methyl orange, alizarin red, alizarin yellow, xylenol orange were also studied. The results revealed that the La0.8Ce0.2NiO3 (LCNO) composites exhibited much higher photocatalytic activities than pure LaNiO3 (LNO).
