Abstract
The reduced graphene oxide/α-Bi2Mo3O12(rGO/BMO) nanoplates were synthesized by polymer-assisted ultraviolet light (UV) excitation method. The UV irradiation can remove the organic electrolytes and deoxidize graphene oxide in situ. The resultant rGO/BMO nanohybrids possess strong absorbability and excellent photocatalytic activity for organic dyes pollution under visible light where 91% of rhodamine B dyes (RhB) was photodegraded in 60 min. The great performance could be ascribed to the excellent electronic property of rGO and the homogeneous contact of α-Bi2Mo3O12with the rGO.
