ABSTRACT
Reduced graphene oxide-BiPO4 ( RGO-BiPO4 ) nanocomposite was synthesized successfully via a one-pot solvothermal method using graphene oxide and bismuth nitrate as precursors and glycerin as solvent at 200℃ for 1 h. The morphology and structure of as-prepared nanocomposite were characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD, XPS, SERS and UV-Visible spectrum. The photocatalytic activity of the nanocomposite was evaluated by the photodegradation of Rhodamine B ( RhB) dye under UV irradiation and it was found that RGO-BiPO4 nanocomposite possessed higher photocatalytic activity than that of pure BiPO4 . RhB could be decomposed 87. 5% within 2 h. Under the same conditions, only 45. 7% of the RhB dye could be decomposed by BiPO4 . The enhancement of photocatalytic activity could be attributed to the effective charge separation due to the electron-accepting and transporting properties of graphene.
