摘要
In this work, reduced graphene oxide /cerium oxide (RGO/CeO2) nanocomposite was synthesized by in situ reduction of cerium nitrate Ce(NO3)(3)center dot 6H(2)O in the presence of graphene oxide by hydrazine hydrate (N2H4 center dot H2O). The intrinsic characteristics of as-prepared nanocomposite were studied using powder x-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). The photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) was employed as a model reaction to evaluate the photocatalytic activity of the RGO/CeO2 nanocomposite. The as-obtained RGO/CeO2 nanocomposite displays a significantly enhanced photocatalytic degradation of MB dye in comparison with bare CeO2 nanoparticles under sunlight irradiation, which can be attributed to the improved separation of electron-hole pairs and enhanced adsorption performance due to presence of RGO.
