Photocatalytic Degradation of Methyl Orange by CeO2 and Fe–doped CeO2 Films under Visible Light Irradiation

TL;DR: The 1.50 mol% Fe-doped CeO2 film was found to be the optimal iron doping concentration for MO degradation in this study and the presence of Fe3+ as found from XPS analysis, may act as electron acceptor and/or hole donor, facilitating longer lived charge carrier separation in Fe- doped Ce O2 films.

One-step hydrothermal synthesis of high-performance visible-light-driven SnS2/SnO2 nanoheterojunction photocatalyst for the reduction of aqueous Cr(VI)

TL;DR: In this article, a simple and cost-effective one-step hydrothermal method, which was based on the reactions of tin(IV) chloride pentahydrate and different dosages of thioacetamide in water at 190°C for 6h, was employed for the synthesis of composition-tunable SnS 2 /SnO 2 nanoheterojunctions.

Photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI) over different TiO2 photocatalysts and the effects of dissolved organic species

TL;DR: The results demonstrated that the photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI) alone was dependent on both of specific surface area and crystalline structure of the photoc atalyst in the absence of any organic compounds, but was dominated by thespecific surface area of the photosynthesis in the presence of organic compounds.
