SYNTHESIS OF GRAPHITE OXIDE (GO)/Cu2O NANOCOMPOSITE AND ITS CATALYTIC PERFORMANCE UNDER THE ULTRASOUND

GO/Cu2O nanocomposite had been successfully synthesized by electrostatic interactions method. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM), selective-area electron diffraction (SAED), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Raman spectra confirmed the structure of the Cu2O and GO/Cu2O nanocomposite. The catalytic degradation of Rhodamine B under the condition of ultrasound was investigated and the result of UV-Vis spectroscopy demonstrated that the nanocomposite can efficiently degraded it.
