Mesoporous anatase phase TiO2 was assembled on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) using a template-free one-step hydrothermal process. The nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron, spectroscopy (XPS), Raman spectroscopy, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area. Morphology of TiO2 was related to the content of graphene oxide. TiO2/rGO nanocomposites exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity for the photo-degradation of methyl orange. The degradation rate was 4.5 times greater than that of pure TiO2 nanoparticles. This difference was attributed to the thin two-dimensional graphene sheet. The graphene sheet had a large surface area, high adsorption capacity, and acted as a good electron acceptor for the transfer of photo-generated electrons from the conduction band of TiO2. The enhanced surface adsorption characteristics and excellent charge transport separation were independent properties of the photocatalytic degradation process. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.
