ABSTRACTPhotocatalytic oxidation, one of advanced oxidation technologies, has important roles to water-splitting for hydrogen production, photocatalytic synthesis and the degradation of organic contaminants. Photocatalytic oxidation has important application feature in global warming, energy problems and environmental issues, etc. The widely explored TiO2 has been accepted as an excellent photocatalyst among the semiconductors due to its advantages of stability, low toxicity and high activity. However, the large band–gap energy (3.2 eV) of TiO2 considerably limits the utilization of natural solar light or artificial visible light. Photosensitization is considered to be an efficient and general method to modify the photoresponse properties of TiO2.In this thesis, using commercial organic pigments and graphene as modifier tomodify TiO2 to expand visible light absorption performance of TiO2. The structures and property of modified catalyst were studied. There are three main parts in this thesis:TiO2 photocatalyst sensitized with commercial organic pigment was conveniently prepared and characterized by FT-IR, UV-Vis, XRD, SEM and N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms. The adsorption capacities and photocatalytic activities of the new photocatalyst were evaluated by photocatalytic degradation of several kinds of representative pollutants under visible light irradiation. The results indicated that the new photocatalyst extends the photoresponse of TiO2 from the UV to the visible region. The degradation rates of dyes RB (Rhodamine B), ACBK (Acid Chrome Blue K) and MO (Methyl Orange) were 24.8%, 34.8% and 9.4% respectively at their initial pH values in a fixed time under visible light irradiation with pure TiO2 as the catalyst, while the degradation rates reach up to 93.5%, 94.6% and 89.2% respectively in the present of BYH3G/TiO2 (Benzimidazolone Yellow H3G/TiO2) under the same conditions. There was no appreciable loss of photocatalytic activity observed when the photocat
