Bottom-up construction of reduced-graphene-oxide-anchored spinel magnet Fe2.02Ni1.01O3.22, anatase TiO2 and metallic Ag nanoparticles and their synergy in photocatalytic water reduction

TiO2-graphene nanocomposites. UV-assisted photocatalytic reduction of graphene oxide.

Graphene oxide suspended in ethanol undergoes reduction as it accepts electrons from UV-irradiated TiO(2) suspensions. The reduction is accompanied by changes in the absorption of the graphene oxide, as the color of the suspension shifts from brown to black. The direct interaction between TiO(2) particles and graphene sheets hinders the collapse of exfoliated sheets of graphene. Solid films cas...

In-situ synthesis and characterization of reduced graphene oxide –Ag nanocomposites

Reduced graphene oxide(rGO)–silver(Ag) nanocomposites have been prepared by using solution based facile one-pot synthesis process. The reaction process involves high-temperature liquid-phase exfoliation of graphite oxide and silver acetate in presence of N-N’dimethylformamide (DMF) solvent, resulting in simultaneous formation of rGO as well as Ag nanoparticles. Different nanocomposites have bee...

Synthesis of reduced graphene oxide-anatase TiO2 nanocomposite and its improved photo-induced charge transfer properties.

The construction of reduced graphene oxide or graphene oxide with semiconductor has gained more and more attention due to its unexpected optoelectronic and electronic properties. The synthesis of reduced graphene oxide (RGO) or graphene oxide-semiconductor nanocomposite with well-dispersed decorated particles is still a challenge now. Herein, we demonstrate a facile method for the synthesis of ...

Synthesis and investigation of structural, optical, and photocatalytic properties of BiFeO3/reduced graphene oxide nanocomposites

This study have been developed BiFeO3/reduced graphene oxide (BFO/RGO) nanocomposites by introduction of RGO in the structure of BFO nanoparticles in a short term ultrasonic treatment. The X-ray diffraction pattern and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy analysis reveal that the BFO/RGO composites were successfully synthesized. UV-visible absorption show that the introduction of RGO can eff...
