Preparation of WO3-reduced graphene oxide nanocomposites with enhanced photocatalytic property
Source abstract
Abstract
In this work, WO3-reduced graphene oxide (RGO) nanocomposite was synthesized via a simple one-pot hydrothermal method. The synthesized nanocomposite was characterized by SEM, XRD, EDX, UV–vis spectroscopy, N2 adsorption/desorption, photocurrent response, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. The superior contact between WO3 and RGO sheets in the nanocomposite facilitates the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue and evolution of oxygen. The cause of the enhanced photocatalytic performance could ascribe to the highly facilitated electron transport by the synergistic effect between WO3 and RGO sheets, as well as suppressing the electron hole pair recombination in the nanocomposite.
