|
TiO2-reduced graphene oxide (RGO) nanocomposites have been prepared by a solvothermal method using Ti(SO4)(2) and graphene oxide (GO) in aqueous/ethanol suspension and their microstructure and optical and photocatalytic properties investigated. The results show that, for all cases, graphene oxide was partially reduced to RGO during the solvothermal process, and anatase TiO2 nanoparticles (similar to 10 nm) accumulated on the surface of RGO sheets. The formal valence state Ti4+ was identified in all cases, whereas Ti-O-C bond can form in the TiO2-RGO nanocomposites due to the strong chemical bonding effect. On increasing the mass ratio (x) of GO/Ti(SO4)(2), the bandgap of the nanocomposites became narrow, thus extending the absorption wavelength range. TiO2-RGO nanocomposites exhibited good photogenerated electron transfer properties as proven by photoluminescence spectra. However, excessive addition of GO (x {>}= 1/40) decreased the photoelectron transfer performance. The photocatalytic activity was studied under ultraviolet (UV) and visible light, being greatly improved with addition of GO at x = 3/200 then decreased at x {>}= 1/40. TiO2-RGO nanocomposite (x {<}= 3/200) also exhibited better photocatalytic performance than pure TiO2 under visible light, indicating increased absorption.
