The in situ growth of ferrioxalate submicrorods and the reduction of graphene oxide (GO) were completed in a one-step reaction. Fourier transform infrared and Raman spectroscopy confirmed the reduction of GO. Uniform rod-like ferrioxalates with diameter of about 600 nm and length of several micrometers were well distributed on the graphene sheets. As-obtained composites exhibited better photocatalytic properties than pure ferrioxalate submicrorods. The influence of different contents of GO on photocatalytic performance was also investigated.
