Selective adsorption and decomposition of pollutants using RGO-TiO2 with optimized surface functional groups.

ABSTRACT: Reduced graphene oxide (RGO) samples with optimized types of surface functional groups were hybridized with TiO2 to achieve the selective adsorption and removal of various pollutants. A high ratio of hydroxyl groups was found to be remarkably advantageous for the adsorbtion and decomposition of rhodamine-B (and similar pollutants), while a high ratio of carboxyl groups was found to promote the ability to adsorb and decompose phenol. Moreover, the presence of carboxyl groups on the RGO edge provides a pre-condition to form a close chemical connection with TiO2, which has been proven by the obtained electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) curve, infrared spectroscopy (IR) and electron lifetime. The resulting composite photocatalysts display excellent photocatalytic activities under both UV- and visible-light illumination, indicating that the well-designed surface micro-circumstances of the RGO are quite significant.
