Abstract

For photocatalyst, changing its appearance and doping with other materials are the effective methods to enhance its photocatalytic activity. For titanium-based photocatalysts, we studied the titanium dioxide hollow microspheres and anatase titanium dioxide with co-exposed (001) and (101) planes. The results show that controlling of its morphology can effectively improve the photoactivity. Meanwhile, doping titanium dioxide with metal oxide and nonmetal (CuO/titanium dioxide, V2O5/titanium dioxide , carbon spheres supported CuO/titanium dioxide , carbon decorated In2O3/titanium dioxide ) also can improve the separation efficiency of photogenerated electrons and holes. Moreover, the as-prepared materials were characterized by XRD, XPS , and TEM to study its physical and chemical properties. In addition to titanium-based photocatalysts, we have also researched zinc-base photocatalysts. Zinc-base photocatalysts show enhanced photocatalytic performance through combining with metals and nonmetals. Bismuth-based photocatalyst is a hot spot of research in recent years, and we present the doped bismuth-based photocatalysts modified by metal or nonmetal. Research shows that modified bismuth-based photocatalysts with metal or nonmetal is an efficient method to let its band gap narrow. Graphene has attracted the attention of scientist for its excellent performance, and we have studied the graphene supported titanium dioxide photocatalysts and its physical and chemical properties.
