The graphene oxide was prepared by the modified Hammer method, and then the rGO-TiO2 nano composite was successfully created using Q-switch Nd:YAG pulsed laser(λ=1064 nm, Energy per pulse 1000 mJ, No. of pulses 500, and the pulse duration 10 n sec) (PLAL). Prepared nanomaterials were characterized by a variety of techniques, including UV-Vis. spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), FTIR, Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and EDX. The absorption peak of GO is equal to 230 nm with energy gap 5.391 eV while The edge of absorption for the TiO2-rGO nanocomposite displays a red shift with respect of pure TiO2. Crystallite size of prepared TiO2/rGO nanocomposite was measured by XRD and is equal to 53.97 nm. The intensity of peaks C=C and peaks O-H is lower compared to peaks of pure graphene oxide, indicating the transformation of graphene oxide into reduced graphene oxide. The TiO2/rGO nanocomposite show enhanced adsorption properties. The removal efficiency of GO is 37 %, and The removal effectiveness for rGO-TiO2 nanocompound is 40 %. The TiO2-rGO nanocomposite has high dye adsorption efficiency, and Can be used for the elimination of the Rh B from aqueous solution.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
