Abstract Photocatalytic activity of the natural semiconducting sphalerite mineral from Abuni, Nasarawa State, Nigeria was studied for the degradation of methylene blue (MB). Natural Sphalerite as a visible – light responsive photocatalyst was characterized by X ray diffraction (XRD), X ray fluorescence (XRF) and surface area analysis. To further enhance the photocatalytic activity of natural Sphalerite, the chemical composition of the sphalerite was varied via leaching with oxalic acids. The photocatalytic activity of the Natural sphalerite, leached sphalerite and as well as the calcined leachates was tested for MB degradation under visible light illumination. The result shows a very high percentage of MB degradation by natural sphalerite after 60mintues of light irradiation time. A composite of ZnO -α –Fe2O3 -ϒ-Fe2O3 with traces amount of MoO and MnO2 was synthesized by calcination of the obtained leachates at 1000°C for 4hours. The photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue dye follows pseudo first order kinetics.

Mesoporous Au-TiO2nanocomposite plasmonic photocatalyst with visible-light photoactivity was prepared by a simple spray hydrolytic method using photoreduction technique at90∘C. The prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and N2adsorption-desorption isotherms. The formation of hydroxyl radicals (•OH) on the surface of visible-light illuminated Au-TiO2nanocomposites was detected by the luminescence technique using terephthalic acid as probe molecules. The photocatalytic activity was evaluated by photocatalytic decolorization of Rhodamine-B (RhB) aqueous solution under visible-light irradiation (λ >  420 nm). The results revealed that the TiO2could be crystallizedviaspray hydrolysis method, and the photoreduction technique was facilitated to prepare Au nanoparticles in the mesoporous TiO2at90∘C. The light absorption, the formation rate of hydroxyl radicals, and photocatalytic decolorization of Rhodamine-B aqueous solution were significantly enhanced by those embedded Au nanoparticles in the Au-TiO2nanocomposites. The prepared Au-TiO2nanocomposites exhibit a highly visible-light photocatalytic activity for photocatalytic degradation of RhB in water, and their photocatalytic activity is higher than that of the pristine TiO2nanoparticles due to the surface plasmon resonance.

TiO2 nanotubes were synthesized using TiO2 powder as raw material from a hydrothermal method. It was observed that the sample prepared at 130°C and calcined at 450°C only anatase formed, but the sample calcined at 800°C, both anatase and rutile formed. The obtained TiO2 nanotubes prepared at a hydrothermal temperature of 130°C and calcined at 450°C have a greater surface area of 356.8m2/g. Moreover, the TiO2 nanotubes demonstrate the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue solution effectively by exposing the nanotubes in aqueous solution under visible light.

Doped Titanium Dioxide

Nanocrystalline tungsten oxide doped titanium dioxide (WOx-TiO2) powders were prepared by TiCl4 hydrolysis and characterized by XRD, XPS, UV–Vis absorption spectra and TEM. Results showed that WOx not only hindered the growth of TiO2 particles but also greatly increased the transformation temperature (>800 oC) from anatase to rutile during sintering; the dominant fraction of tungsten oxides was non-stoichiometric tungsten oxide (WxOy) with Wn+ (4<n<6), which could easily substitute Ti4+ in the lattice of TiO2. The light absorption band of TiO2 changed from the near UV to the visible light range (2.68 eV in 1.0 %WOx-TiO2) because of the tungsten impurity energy level induced by WxTi1-xO2. The photocatalysis experiments demonstrated that the MB in aqueous solution was successfully degraded within 1h using WOx-TiO2 with an optimal WOx dosage of 1% under visible light irradiation.
