Composition tuning in copper - oxide decorated reduced graphene oxide yields efficient photo- and reduction catalysts

Revathi Kottappara et al.

Summary: A direct low-cost chemical reduction method is presented for the synthesis of the ternary Cu-Cu2O-CuO system, where the presence of graphene oxide helps limit the conversion of copper to copper oxide. The composition of the ternary system can be altered by adjusting the amount of copper precursor used, as confirmed by X-ray diffraction studies and XPS analysis of the synthesized nanocomposites. The enhanced catalytic efficiency of the composite nanostructures towards visible light photodegradation and hydride reduction reactions is attributed to the interaction between graphene sheets and copper, as well as the unique ternary composition of Cu2O-Cu-CuO.
