In situ g-C3N4@ZnO nanocomposites (with 0, 1, 3, 5, and 7 wt.% of g-C3N4 in nanocomposite) were synthesized via a one-pot hydrothermal method using precursors of urea, zinc nitrate hexahydrate, and hexamethylenetetramine. The g-C3N4@ZnO nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The photocatalyst activity of g-C3N4@ZnO nanocomposites was evaluated via methylene blue degradation experiment under visible light irradiation. The g-C3N4@ZnO nanocomposites showed an enhancement in photocatalytic activity in comparison to pure ZnO which increased with the g-C3N4 content (1, 3, 5, and 7 wt.%) in nanocomposites. The photocatalytic activity reached the highest efficiency of 96.8% when the content of g-C3N4 was 7.0 wt.%. Nanocomposite having 7.0 wt.% of g-C3N4 also showed good recyclability with degradation efficiency higher than 90% even in the 4th use. The improvement of photocatalytic activity could be attributed to the adsorption ability and effective separation of electron-hole pairs between g-C3N4 and ZnO. This work implies a simple method to in situ prepare the nanocomposite material of g-C3N4 and semiconductors oxide for photocatalyst applications with high efficiency and good recyclability.

In order to improve the photocatalytic activity, Co was successfully loaded into Ag3VO4 by using impregnation process. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). The XRD and SEM–EDS analyses revealed that Co ion was dispersed on Ag3VO4. The DRS results indicated that the absorption edge of the Co–Ag3VO4 catalyst shifted to longer wavelength. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of Co–Ag3VO4 for Methylene Blue(MB) dye degradation under visible light irradiation was due to its wider absorption edge and higher separation rate of photo-generated electron and holes. In the experimental conditions, it is demonstrated that the MB was effectively degraded by more than 95% within 40 min when the Co–Ag3VO4 catalyst was calcined at 300°C with 1 wt.% Co content.

A series of BixY(2-x)O3photocatalysts were successfully prepared by a solid-state reaction and were subsequently characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra revealed that the BixY(2-x)O3samples absorbed light in the visible-light range (400-800 nm). The XPS results indicated that active oxygen species were generated on the Bi1.8Y0.2O3surface, which displayed a higher photocatalytic activity. When using photocatalytic degradation molasses fermentation wastewater as a model reaction, the Bi1.8Y0.2O3showed higher photocatalytic activity in comparison to Bi0.2Y1.8O3under visible-light irradiation.

BiOCl/BiOBr composite microspheres were synthesized through a one-pot mixed surfactant-assisted solvothermal process. The morphology, crystal structure, surface area and photocatalytic activity of the as-prepared BiOCl/BiOBr composite were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The photocatalytic ability of the as-prepared photocatalysts was evaluated using rhodamine B (RhB) as a target pollutant. The BiOCl/BiOBr composite exhibited much higher photocurrent intensity than pure BiOBr, BiOCl and other different components, which perfectly coincided with the enhanced photocatalytic activity for the degradation of RhB under visible light ([Formula: see text][Formula: see text]nm). Moreover, this novel and facile strategy to fabricate bismuth halide-based composite with high efficiency were widely used in other bismuth-based composite photocatalyst for removing organic contaminants in wastewater.
