One-Pot Solid-State Reaction Approach to Synthesize Ag-Cu2O/GO Ternary Nanocomposites with Enhanced Visible-Light-Responsive Photocatalytic Activity
A facile ball milling-assisted solid-state reaction method was developed to synthesize Ag-Cu2O/graphene oxide (GO) nanocomposites. In the resultant complex heterostructures, Ag nanocrystals were mainly deposited on the surface of Cu2O, while Ag-Cu2O composites were anchored onto GO sheets. The resul...

description | A facile ball milling-assisted solid-state reaction method was developed to synthesize Ag-Cu2O/graphene oxide (GO) nanocomposites. In the resultant complex heterostructures, Ag nanocrystals were mainly deposited on the surface of Cu2O, while Ag-Cu2O composites were anchored onto GO sheets. The resultant Ag-Cu2O/GO nanocomposites exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity with 90% of methyl orange (MO) dye degradation efficiency after 60 min of visible-light irradiation, which was much higher than that of either Cu2O or Ag-Cu2O. This study opens a new avenue to fabricate visible-light-responsive photocatalyst with high performance for environmental pollution purification. |
