Summary: By hybridizing TiO2 photocatalyst with CaCO3 as the wall material and using linseed oil as the core material, self-cleaning and self-repairing microcapsules were produced using in-situ precipitation. The microcapsules were evaluated for their morphology, chemical composition, thermal stability, and self-cleaning and self-repairing properties. Results showed that the microcapsules had a rough and spherical surface, along with excellent thermal stability and repeatability. Increasing the dosage of microcapsules significantly increased the degradation rate of methylene blue, while the self-repairing effect of micro-cracks became more evident. The optimal microcapsule dosage was found to be 7.0 wt%.

Summary: The development of the textile industry has raised concerns due to the contamination of drinking water by organic dyes, which pose a carcinogenic risk to humans. Nanomaterials, particularly semiconductors, have been utilized for photocatalytic degradation of dye pollutants. Various parameters, such as catalyst dosage, irradiation time, light sources, initial dye concentration, temperature, and pH, play significant roles in the degradation process. Different generations of photocatalytic nanomaterials, including single metal nanoparticles, binary and ternary metal oxides, as well as inert solid substrates with photocatalysts, have been employed for dye degradation.
