Reduced graphene oxide is not a universal promoter for photocatalytic activities of TiO 2
Source abstract
Abstract
Addition of reduced graphene oxide (RGO) to P25 TiO 2 was made and its impacts on photocatalytic oxidation of various organic substances were studied. Although the presence of RGO in TiO 2 can enhance certain TiO 2 -based photocatalytic reactions, it is not a universal observation that can be expected in all types of organic substances. The factor of photocatalytic activity enhancement is strongly affected by the various functional groups appeared in the organic substances. In this work, it is realised that the length of alkyl chain in alcohols and carboxylic acids have the minimum influence on the overall activity while the number of hydroxyl groups can promote the further activity enhancement in the presence of RGO.
