Synthesis of TiO2/Graphene oxide nanocomposites for their enhanced photocatalytic activity against methylene blue dye and ciprofloxacin
Abstract
We report the synthesis of TiO<sub>2</sub>/Graphene oxide nanocomposites (2%, 4%, 6% and 8%) by liquid phase deposition of titania on graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets. This chemical method of synthesis was used due to hydrophobic/hydrophilic incompatibility of GO with metal oxides. The fabricated TiO<sub>2</sub>/GO nanocomposites were successfully characterized using various diffraction, electron microscopy and spectroscopic techniques i.e. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Energy-Dispersive X-Ray (EDX), Ultra-Violet Visible, Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (DRS) and Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR). Photocatalytic activity against methylene blue dye and ciprofloxacin was carried out by the synthesized nanocomposites under sun light spectrum. Results were revealed that average crystallite size (12.42 nm, and 12.50 nm) was observed for the synthesized pure TiO<sub>2</sub> and TiO<sub>2</sub>/GO (8%) nanocomposites respectively with crystalline nature and spherical morphology. Moreover, synthesized TiO<sub>2</sub>/GO (8%) nanocomposites were found to have larger surface area (91.25 m<sup>2</sup>g<sup>-1</sup>) and narrow energy band-gap values (2.47 eV) than that of pure TiO<sub>2</sub> (55.93 m<sup>2</sup>g<sup>-1</sup> and 3.06 eV) respectively. Furthermore, the TiO<sub>2</sub>/GO (8%) nanocomposites exhibited fastest and highest rate of photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue among all composites (2%, 4%, and 6%) and pure TiO<sub>2</sub> in much reduced period. Their excellent photocatalytic activity against synthetic dye and ciprofloxacin under the spectrum of visible region was attributed to thin two dimensional sheet support, larger surface area, narrow band gap, higher adsorption capacity and good electron acceptability of GO. Hence, the fabricated nanocomponents could be proved valuable photocatalytic system to safe our environs from the intimidations of toxic waste products produced by different industries.
