Heterogeneous photocatalytic oxidation technology is currently a technology with the potential to solve environmental pollution and energy shortages. The key to this technology is to find and design efficient photocatalysts. Here, a series of inorganic coordination polymer quantum sheets (ICPQS)@ graphene oxide (GO) composite photocatalysts are synthesized by adding GO to the synthesis process of ICPQS: {[Cu-II(H2O)(4)][Cu-4(I)(CN)(6)]} n. These composite photocatalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Zeta potential, and N-2 adsorption/desorption isotherms. The photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue showed that the activity of ICPQS@ GO composite photocatalysts is better than that of ICPQS. Among ICPQS@ GO composite photocatalysts, the 10.6% ICPQS@ GO composite photocatalyst has the best activity, which can reach 3.3 mg/(L min) at pH 3. This method of loading low-specific surface area photocatalysts onto GO to improve photocatalytic performance indicates the direction for the synthesis of highly efficient photocatalysts.
