Abstract

To increase the photocatalytic activity of nanocomposite based on TiO₂ and rGO (NC) and improve its photosensitivity in the visible region of the spectrum, the influence of CdS concentration (1 to 10 wt% with respect to NC) on its physicochemical and photocatalytic properties was studied. The addition of CdS to NC leads to a significant increase in the photocatalytic activity. An almost fivefold increase in photocurrent compared to pure NC was registered for NC/CdS_5%. Data on Methylene blue photodegradation showed that after 210 min of irradiation, only 5 % of dye molecules remained in solution. This value is 14.4 and 11.6 times higher than that of pure NC or CdS, respectively. Enhanced photocatalytic activity is related both to the improvement of NC absorption in the region of 400–800 nm and the decrease of the band gap width of NC upon addition of CdS, as well as the significant change in the electrophysical characteristics of the nanocomposite.

增强掺杂 CdS 的 TiO2/rGO 纳米复合材料的光催化性能

为了提高基于 TiO2 和 rGO（NC）的纳米复合材料的光催化活性，并改善其在光谱可见区的光敏性，研究了 CdS 浓度（相对于 NC 为 1 至 10 wt%）对其物理化学和光催化特性的影响。在 NC 中添加 CdS 可显著提高光催化活性。与纯 NC 相比，NC/CdS_5% 的光电流几乎增加了五倍。亚甲基蓝的光降解数据显示，经过 210 分钟的辐照后，只有 5% 的染料分子留在溶液中。这一数值分别是纯 NC 或 CdS 的 14.4 倍和 11.6 倍。光催化活性的增强既与加入 CdS 后 NC 在 400-800 纳米波长区域吸收率的提高和 NC 带隙宽度的减小有关，也与纳米复合材料的电物理特性的显著变化有关。
