  • Title: A simple mechanical mixing method for preparation of visible-light-sensitive NiO-CaO composite photocatalysts with high photocatalytic activity.
    Author: Song L, Zhang S.
    Journal: J Hazard Mater; 2010 Feb 15; 174(1-3):563-6. PubMed ID: 19819071.
    Abstract:
    Composite photocatalysts composed of NiO and CaO have been prepared via mechanically mixing of the two powders. The as-synthesized NiO-CaO products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and UV-vis spectrometry. The experimental results showed that the absorption wavelength range of the mixed NiO-CaO sample was notably extended towards the visible-light region (400-450 nm). Photocatalytic activity of the NiO-CaO composite was evaluated based on the decomposition of methylene blue under visible-light irradiation. The effects of CaO doping and the duration of heat treatment on the durability of the NiO-CaO products have been investigated in detail. Factors influencing photocatalytic activity and the mechanism of photocatalysis were also addressed.
