A novel photocatalyst, K 6 ZrW 11 O 39 Sn . 12H 2 O (ZrW 11 Sn), was synthesized in our previous study. However, the utilization of ZrW 11 Sn was extremely limited because of its high solubility in water. A novel composite catalyst, ZrW 11 Sn-TiO 2 , was synthesized and characterized in this study. ZrW 11 Sn-TiO 2 is of nanometer-scale and has a structure similar to that of anatase TiO 2 . The forbidden energy zone of ZrW 11 Sn-TiO 2 is less than that of the synthesized pure TiO 2 , while its specific surface area is larger. The photocatalytic activities of ZrW 11 Sn-TiO 2 were evaluated by its degradation of monoazo, disazo, anthraquinone, and three aryl methane dyes with solar irradiation in heterogeneous aqueous solutions. Results indicate that ZrW 11 Sn-TiO 2 has higher photocatalytic activity than the synthesized pure TiO 2 , commercial anatase TiO 2 , H 3 PW 12 O 40 , and H 4 SiW 12 O 40 doped TiO 2 . The optimum doping concentration of ZrW 11 Sn and the calcination temperature were 1.8 wt % (ZrW 11 Sn) and 400 C, respectively. ZrW 11 Sn-TiO 2 showed a considerably high photocatalytic stability. When a Reactive Black 5 solution (200 mL, 10 mg/L; initial pH 6) with ZrW 11 Sn-TiO 2 (0.2 g/L) was irradiated for 60 min with simulated sunlight, the decoloration rate was >98% even after four cycles. ZrW 11 Sn-TiO 2 exhibited a better settling property than commercial TiO 2 , which made further separation treatment easier.
