Photothermal Contribution to Enhanced Photocatalytic Performance of Graphene-Based Nanocomposites

Abstract

Photocatalysts possessing high efficiency in degrading aquatic organic pollutants are highly desirable. Although graphene-based nanocomposites exhibit excellent photocatalytic properties, the role of graphene has been largely underestimated. Herein, the photothermal effect of graphene-based nanocomposites is demonstrated to play an important role in the enhanced photocatalytic performance, which has not been considered previously. In our study on degradation of organic pollutants (methylene blue), the contribution of the photothermal effect caused by a nanocomposite consisting of P25 and reduced graphene oxide can be as high as ∼38% in addition to trapping and shuttling photogenerated electrons and increasing both light absorption and pollutant adsorptivity. The result reveals that the photothermal characteristic of graphene-based nanocomposite is vital to photocatalysis. It implies that designing graphene-based nanocomposites with the improved photothermal performance is a promising strategy to acquire highly efficient photocatalytic activity.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
