Abstract

Ferrioxalate submicrorods/graphene composites were synthesized through a simple solvothermal process in a mixture of ethylene glycol and water. 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 600nm 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. A possible photocatalytic mechanism of ferrioxalate submicrorods/graphene composites was proposed.
