Fabrication and investigation on Ag nanowires/TiO₂ nanosheets/graphene hybrid nanocomposite and its water treatment performance.

ABSTRACT: In this paper, a novel Ag nanowires/TiO₂ nanosheets/graphene nanocomposite was fabricated via a facile method of hydrothermal and calcination, and then the water treatment performance of it was evaluated for methylene blue (MB) and Escherichia coli removal. The as-prepared Ag nanowires/TiO₂ nanosheets/graphene nanocomposite was characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), UV-visible diffuse reflection spectroscopy (DRS), molecular dynamics simulation, and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). All data revealed that the Ag/TiO₂/graphene nanocomposite showed a ric
