A Schiff base cobalt porphyrin, namely N-(5-p-phenyl) -10, 15, 20-triphenyl porphyrin-nitrophenyl azomethine, denoted as XFJ-Co-TPP, was prepared by chemical synthetic method. Using XFJ-Co-TPP as sensitizer, anatase TiO2 samples were impregnated with metal porphyrin to form XFJ-Co-TPP-TiO2 composite photocatalysts. The photocatalysts were characterized by FT-IR, UV-Vis DRS, XRD and SEM. The results showed that the as-synthesised Schiff base cobalt porphyrins were target compound, which were successfully depositedon the surface of TiO2. The photocatalytic activity of XFJ-Co-TPP-TiO2 composite photocatalysts was investigated throughthe photocatalysts assisted degradation of methylene blue(MB) and Rhodamine B (RhB) under visible light irradiation. It was found that XFJ-Co-TPP-TiO2 composite exhibited much higher photodegradation efficiency than the bare TiO2 catalysts. The effect of various radical scavengers on the degradation of RhB with XFJ-Co-TPP-TiO2-1 as catalyst showed thath+ was likely to be major active specie responsible for the dye degradation under visible light.

Titanium dioxide doped with phosphorus was synthesized by the sol-gel method with H-3 PO4 addition. The samples were calcined at different temperatures under different atmospheres, in order to affect the Ti-O combination behavior in P-doped TiO2. The physicochemical properties of the prepared samples were investigated using TG-DTA, XRD, FTIR, XPS, TEM and UV-vis. The photocatalytic activity was evaluated by degradation of methyl orange (MO) dye under UV and visible-light irradiation. The results show that P-doped TiO2 calcined in different thermal atmosphere reveals entirely different performances. The XRD and UV-vis analysis reveal that the effect of P species in TiO2 is increased by calcining in reducing atmosphere. Further photocatalytic experiments also display that P-doped TiO2 calcined under carbothermal reduction atmosphere (R-PT) exhibits higher photocatalytic activity than that calcined in air (A-PT). The XPS results confirms that the calcining atmosphere changes the distribution concentration of surface and interface species in P-doped TiO2, such as surface oxygen and Ti3+ sites, resulting in the improved photocatalytic activity and enhanced reutilization performance of R-PT. Further mechanism study illustrates that the promoting photocatalytic activity of P-doped TiO2 are ascribed to the formation of Ti3+ sites rather than exceeding oxygen on the surface. And the carbothermal process helps to reserve these Ti3+ sites during high temperature calcination, resulting in the increased photocatalytic activity of P-doped TiO2, especially when the doping level of P species is relative low.

This work described the rapid synthesis procedure for TiO2/MWCNT nanocatalyst using a modified microwave method. Transmission electron micrographs suggested TiO2 nanoparticles were strongly attached to the MWCNT. The surface area of the nanocatalysts determined by the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method proved that the hybrid nanocatalyst have higher surface area (262,3 m(2)/g) than pristine TiO2 (172.3 m(2)/g). The photocatalytic activity of the nanocatalyst was investigated under visible light (VL) illumination by studying the degradation of methylene blue dye (MB) with concentration of 10 ppm in 100 mL H2O as a model compound. The results showed that the degradation efficiency obtained by using TiO2/MWCNT5 is about 40% higher than bare TiO2. This signification enhancement was attributed to higher surface area and the ability of MWCNTs to act as a visible-light photosensitising agent revealing potential application in the treatment of wastewater.

Nitrogen doped anatase TiO2 powders (N-TiO2) were sensitized by four kinds of metalloporphyrins (CoTHPP, CoTPP, NiTHPP, and NiTPP). The resulting materials were characterized by XRD, TEM, XPS, DRS and N-2 adsorption. The results showed that the crystal structure and morphology of N-TiO2 were not affected by the existence of porphyrin on its surface, but the surface area increased after the N-TiO2 sensitized by metalloporphyrins. The photocatalytic degradation of methyl blue (MB) experiments showed that the metalporphyrins sensitized N-TiO2 composite catalysts, especially the CoTHPP/N-TiO2 and CoTPP/N-TiO2, exhibited higher degradation efficiency than the unsentisized N-TiO2 powders. In addition, the photocatalytic degradations of MB using the composite catalysts were all demonstrated to follow first-order kinetic model. The composite catalysts can be recycled four times without significant loss of photocatalytic activity. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Metal doping and sensitization of photocatalyst have been jointly exploited as a novel strategy to improve photocatalytic activity under visible light irradiation. 5, 10, 15, 20-tetrakis (4-chlorophenyl) porphyrin-Cu (II) (CuPp) is chosen to sensitize La-doped TiO2 (La-TiO2) nanocrystalline. La doping results in smaller crystallite and larger specific surface area. La doping or sensitization of TiO2 exhibits higher absorption in visible-light region and photocatalytic degradation efficiency of methyl orange (MO) than pristine TiO2. Coupling effect of La doping and CuPp sensitization leads to the excellent photocatalytic activity under visible light irradiation. A tentative mechanism for the enhancment of photocatalytic activity under visible light irradiation is proposed. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Thin films of meso-tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrinato copper(II) (CuTCPP) in conjunction with anatase TiO2 have been formed on cotton fabric. Their self-cleaning properties have been investigated by conducting photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue, coffee and wine stains under visible-light irradiation. CuTCPP/TiO2-coated cotton fabrics showed superior self-cleaning performance when compared to bare TiO2-coated cotton. Furthermore, CuTCPP/TiO2-coated fabrics showed significant photostability under visible-light as compared to free base TCPP/TiO2-coated fabrics. The fabrics were characterized by FESEM, XRD and UV鈥搗is spectroscopy. An insight into the mechanistic aspects of the CuTCPP/TiO2 photocatalysis is also discussed. Visible-light driven self-cleaning cotton based on copper(II) porphyrin/TiO2 catalyst exhibits significant potential in terms of stability and reproducibility for self-cleaning applications.

TiO2 nanoparticles modified with 5-(p-hydroxylphenyl)-10,15,20-triphenylporphyrin (HTPP), 5-(p-hydroxylphenyl)-10,15,20-triphenylporphyrin zinc (ZnHTPP) and trans-dichloro-5-(p-hydroxylphenyl)-10,15,20-triphenylporphyrin tin (SnHTPP) were prepared in order to improve the visible photocatalytic activity of TiO2 nanoparticles. The photocatalytic activity of the modified TiO2 nanoparticles was investigated by carrying out the photodegradation of methyl orange in aqueous solution under visible light irradiation. The TiO2 nanoparticles modified with SnHTPP show the highest visible photocatalytic activity with a degradation ratio of 86% of methyl orange after 180 min irradiation among three catalysts. This result indicates that the central metal ions in porphyrins can significantly influence the sensitization efficiency of porphyrins. In addition, the photoelectrochemical behavior of the modified TiO2 nanoparticles was examined and related to their photocatalytic activity. Finally, the photocatalytic mechanism was discussed preliminarily. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l. All rights reserved.
