A low-cost and simplistic approach for the synthesis of nanosized SO42-/TiO2 photocatalyst was successfully performed using Binh Dinh ilmenite ore and H2SO4 as titanium and sulfur sources, respectively. The experimental results indicate that the obtained material exists in the form of particles with a size of about 22 nm and has a specific surface area of about 49 m2 g-1. Compared with the TiO2 sample, the SO42-/TiO2 sample shows much higher photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) under the sunlight irradiation. In more details, the nanosized SO42-/TiO2 sample obtained is capable of completely decomposing RhB after 9 hours of irradiation by a 60 W LED lamp with a corresponding intensity of 9,500 Lux. However, when the SO42-/TiO2 is irradiated by the sunlight with the intensity of 65,000 Lux, it only takes 2 hours to completely decompose rhodamine B (RhB), facilitating the use of SO42-/TiO2 as a potential photocatalyst for the RhB photodegradation.

A CaO catalyst was prepared by mild calcination (650°C) of facilely precipitated Ca(OH)2and compared to an NiO-CaO catalyst obtained from an Ni(OH)2/Ca(OH)2coprecipitate as a precursor. Both catalysts degraded rhodamine B (RB) effectively when exposed to ultraviolet light but exhibited slower degradation under visible light conditions. Under UV light, CaO was more effective than NiO-CaO, while in visible light, the opposite was observed. A mechanistic study revealed no influence of the specific surface area of the catalysts on RB degradation, no adsorption of RB on the positively charged surfaces of the catalysts, and only incomplete degradation of RB. Consequently, both materials represent nonconventional photocatalysts.

An enhanced visible-light-driven catalyst BiVO4 doping with Cu was synthesized by hydrothermal method and characterized by XRD, UV-vis DRS, specific surface area. The characterization results indicated a better crystal structure of Cu-BiVO4. The photocatalytic properties were evaluated by degrading wastewater with phenol, taking pH of catalysts prepared, dosage of catalyst and air flow as the research factors. The results showed that Cu-BiVO4 has an effective photodegradation of phenol under the suitable conditions.

Abstract A novel binary BiSI/Ag2CO3 photocatalyst with excellent visible light-driven photocatalytic performance was prepared. The products were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The photocatalytic activity of the samples were evaluated by photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B(RhB) under the irradiation of visible light. The results showed that the BiSI improves the photocatalytic activity of BiSI/Ag2CO3. Moreover, when the mass ratio of BiSI in BiSI/Ag2CO3 composites was 40%, the as-prepared BiSI/Ag2CO3 composite exhibited the best photocatalytic activity for degrading RhB. Finally, the possible mechanism for photodegradation over the BiSI/Ag2CO3 composites is also proposed.
