ZnSe-graphene/TiO2 exhibited favorable adsorption of rhodamine B, a wide wavelength absorption range, and efficient charge separation. Reactive oxygen species were generated by the oxidation of 1,5-diphenyl carbazide to 1,5-diphenyl carbazone. The sonocatalytic reaction mechanism was pro-posed. These findings potentially broaden the applications of sonocatalytic technologies.展开更多

The composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, and transmission electron microscopy. The photocatalytic activities were examined by the degradation of methylene blue (MB) under visible-light irradiation. The photodegradation of MB under visible-light irradiation reached 90.1% after 120 min. The kinetics of MB degradation was plotted alongside the values calculated from the Langmuir-Hinshelwood equation. The CuS-graphene oxide/TiO2 sample prepared using 0.2 mol of TiO2 showed the best photocatalytic activity. This was attributed to a cooperative reaction as a result of increased photoabsorption by graphene oxide and an increased photocatalytic effect by CuS.展开更多

The structural characteristics studies of the synthesized composites were investigated by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, scanning electron microscope （SEM）, transmission electron microscope （TEM）, Brunauer, Emmett, Teller specific surface area （BET） and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS）. The photocatalytic activity was investigated by the degradation of methylene blue as standard dye. The degradation of M8 was calculated based on the decrease in concentration of the dye with respect to regular time intervals. The reusability tests were done to investigate the stability of the used catalysts. Additionally the antibacterial activity of CdSe-graphene was also investigated using bacterium Streptococcus aureus （S. aureus）.展开更多
