In this research, we had successfully prepared a series of RF-carbon nitride composites for photocatalyst application. The modification of carbon nitride with RF resins aimed to enhance physical characteristics and photocatalytic activity toward organic pollutants, such as methylene blue. XRD, FTIR, SEM, and N2 adsorptiondesorption isotherms were used to characterize the asprepared composite materials.

In this communication, we synthesized the composite of MoO3/TiO2 with hierarchical electronic structure via the facile impregnation combined with calcination of precursors. Beside the forming of composites, the asprepared samples were in a desire of Mo-doping into TiO2 lattice, due to the smaller radius of Mo+6 compared to Ti+4, leading to the reduction of the band gap.

Silver nanoparticles with the diameter of 5 – 10 nm were successfully deposited on TiO2 nanowires by a facile and low-cost photoreduction method in alkaline solution under UV irradiation. The mutual coordination between light irradiation and NH4OH reduction gives rise to the formation and decoration of the Ag nanoparticles on the surface of TiO2 nanowires.

The photocatalytic activity was estimated by the degradation of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). The 5% Cu2O/g-C3N4 catalyst showed the highest activity, with the photodegradation yield reached 7,3%. The addition of H2O2 remarkably improved the yield, with 98,5% attained after 1 hour of irradiation.

In this work, Ag(Cu)InS2 semiconductor nanoparticles were synthesized via microwave and solvothermal methods. The effects of synthetical parameters on the structure and morphology of the nanoparticles were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, UV–Vis, and EDX. The experimental results reveal that the AgInS2 compound can be crystallized in two different phases, which are tetragonal and orthorhombic.

The objective of this project was to develop \(Ti{O_2}\) based multifunctional substrates through silver decoration, while simultaneously enhancing the photocatalytic performance of \(Ti{O_2}\) in the substrate. Employing Ag nanoparticles introduced additional functionality to the system, namely surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), thus enabling the detection of trace amounts of organic molecules prior to their degradation, all with the same substrate.

Characterization results show that N-doped TiO2 samples have a broader absorption spectrum and a higher antibacterial efficiency against E. coli than pure samples. The DFT calculation suggests that nitrogen ion doping induces the formation of new states closed to the valence band leading to a narrowing of the band gap and a great improvement in photocatalytic activity in the visible light region of the doped material.
