A series of composites of nanocrystalline TiO2 with exposed {001} facets and high quality graphene sheets (GS) were synthesized via a one-step hydrothermal reaction in an ethanol-water solvent. The obtained {001} facets-exposed TiO2/GS photocatalysts were characterized by Raman spectroscopy (RS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction pattern (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), ultraviolet visible (UV-vis) diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) and Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). They showed a better photocatalyst properties than P25 and other normal TiO2/GS composites, which could be explained on the basis of the formation of chemical Ti-O-C bond and the formation of nano-sized Schottky interfaces at the contacts between TiO2 and GS. The influence of the exposed {001} facets on the photocatalytic activity was investigated. The result showed that positively charged dye molecules are preferentially adsorbed onto the TiO2/GS composites due to the photogenerated charge gathered on GS. Overall, this work could provide new insights into the fabrication of TiO2-carbon composites as high performance photocatalysts and facilitate their application in addressing environmental protection issues.
