A microparticle material of gold/polystyrene-coated hollow titania was successfully synthesized. The synthesis steps involved hydrothermal synthesis of a carbon sphere from sucrose as a template, coating of the carbon sphere with titania, removal of the carbon sphere to produce hollow titania, followed by coating of polystyrene on the surface of hollow titania and then attachment of gold nanoparticles. It has been demonstrated that this material can float on water due to its low density and it is a potential catalyst for liquid-gas boundary catalysis in oxidation of benzyl alcohol by using molecular oxygen.

Photocatalytically reducing CO into high-value-added chemical materials has surfaced as a viable strategy for harnessing solar energy and mitigating the greenhouse effect. But the inadequate separation of the photogenerated electron-hole pair remains a major obstacle to CO photoreduction. Constructing heterostructure photocatalysts with efficient interface charge transfer is a promising approach to solving the above problems.

In this study, hierarchical cellulose acetate/polyvinylpyrrolidone hollow microfibers (CA/PVP HMFs) were first prepared via a dip coating method using a steel wire as tubular template and then supported a sol-gel deposition of titania nanoparticles (NPs) to derive CA/PVP@titania NP HMFs. After hydrothermally treated in NaOH solution, CA/PVP@titania NP HMFs were transformed to CA/PVP@titania nanowire (NW) HMFs. SEM observation showed that CA/PVP@titania NW HMFs had a hollow structure with diameters of 450-600 μm and exhibited a hierarchical and nanofibrous structure.

This comprehensive study explores the kinetics of adsorption and its photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange (MO) using an advanced copper-decorated photocatalyst in the form of hollow fibers (HFs). Designed to boost both adsorption capacity and photocatalytic activity, the photocatalyst was tested in batch experiments to efficiently remove MO from aqueous solutions. Various isotherm models, including Langmuir, Freundlich, Sips, Temkin, and Dubinin-Radushkevich, along with kinetic models like pseudo-first and pseudo-second order, Elovich, Bangham, and Weber-Morris, were utilized to assess adsorption capacity and kinetics at varying initial concentrations.
