摘要
A novel photocatalyst of graphene-titania dioxide nanotube (GN-TNT) composites was prepared using a simple hydrothermal reaction with ascorbic acid as a reducing agent. High resolution transmission electron microscope (HR-TEM), fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR), thermo gravimetric analyzer (TGA) and N-2 adsorption/desorption analyzer (BET) methods were used to assess the morphologies and structures of as synthesized materials. HR-TEM analysis further confirmed the presences of graphene and titanium (TiO2) nanotubes in the nanocomposite photocatalyst. The results exhibited that photocatalytic performance of a GN-TNT photocatalyst significantly improved under visible light.. In addition, the exisLence of a competitive effect. between As3+ and reactive black 5 (RBK5) molecules in the mixed solution was found. The photocatalytic process is also discussed in this paper.
