1the C-O peak at place and 800-1500 cm
-1the intensity in peak district all obviously declines, and graphene oxide success deoxidation is described and is reduced to reduced graphene.TiO
2in the infrared spectrogram of (Fig. 4 c) except showing the flexible and flexural vibrations of-OH in water, also at lower wave number district (400-900 cm
-1) there is TiO
2ti-O-Ti key.TiO
2the situation of oxygen-containing functional group and the similar of rGO in-rGO composite (Fig. 4 d), show graphene oxide after hydrothermal treatment consists in composite successful transformation be reduced graphene.In addition at lower wave number district 400-900 cm
-1, TiO
2-rGO composite shows wider absorption, mainly due to TiO
2ti-O-Ti key and the new Ti-O-C key acting in conjunction formed cause.Therefore, above-mentioned result of study confirms successful reduction and the TiO of graphene oxide
2the successful synthesis of-rGO composite.
The TiO that the Raman spectrum of Fig. 5 can provide
2with the structural information of Graphene.TiO

2with (Fig. 5 d) after Graphene compound, these characteristic peaks significantly weaken, and may be because graphene coated is at TiO
2surface, part masks TiO
2raman information.This demonstrate between composite and define very strong chemical action.Raman spectrum is also a strong and carbon atom sp in widely used sign Graphene
2and sp
3hybrid structure defect.The illustration display of Fig. 5, at 1347 cm
-1with 1590 cm
-1place finds D peak and the G peak of Graphene and composite thereof.D peak is by sp
3the carbon of hydridization type causes, and show as structural defect and unordered degree, and G peak is by sp in Graphene
2the carbon of hydridization type causes, and shows as the integrated degree in graphene-structured in Graphene.And the strength ratio at D peak and G peak reflects the defect of Graphene and unordered degree usually.By Fig. 5 result, calculate the I of graphene oxide
d/ I

Fig. 6 is graphene oxide, reduced graphene and TiO
2the C 1s spectrogram of the x-ray photoelectron power spectrum (XPS) of-rGO composite.There is the carbon bond of Four types in display in the C 1s spectrogram of XPS, that is: C – C, C=C, C-H (284.9 eV), C-O-C, C-OH (286.6 eV), C=O (287.6 eV) and O=C-OH (288.3 eV).Graphene oxide (Fig. 6 C-C a), C=C and c h bond and oxygen containing carbon bond C-O (286.6 eV) and C=O (288.3 eV) intensity all very high.In reduced graphene (Fig. 6 b), oxygen containing carbon bond intensity obviously declines, and meanwhile, as can be seen from Table 1 compared with graphene oxide, the ratio shared by peak area of the CC key of reduced graphene is increased to 0.62 from 0.42.But C-O-C and O=C-OH proportion drops to 0.14 and 0.19 from 0.32 respectively and drops to 0.03.This shows that water-heat process decreases the content of C-O key, thus makes graphene oxide change reduced graphene into.From TiO
2can find out similar to reduced graphene in the C1s spectrogram of the XPS of-rGO composite (Fig. 6 c), it also correspondingly reduces containing oxygen carbon bond ratio.Above result shows that Hydrothermal Synthesis can significantly reduce carbon-oxygen bond content, thus makes graphene oxide be converted to reduced graphene and for TiO
2in-rGO composite, the reduction of GO further provides strong evidence.

2photocatalysis performance have significant impact.After introducing a small amount of Graphene, sample TiO
2-rGO(1 wt %) photocatalysis performance of (Fig. 7 b) is than pure TiO
2(Fig. 7 a) obviously strengthens, and reaction rate constant is 4.7 × 10
-3min
-1.TiO
2the principle of-rGO composite photocatalyst performance enhancement is: first, and Graphene has excellent absorption property owing to having large specific area, thus adds organic concentration near catalyst surface.Phenol molecule is transferred to catalyst surface from solution and can be connected with Graphene conjugation.Therefore with pure TiO
2compare, TiO
2-rGO composite Pyrogentisinic Acid has higher adsorption rate.Secondly, titanium dioxide, after ultraviolet excitation, produces electron-hole pair.After Graphene compound, the electrons on titanium dioxide conduction band is quickly transferred on Graphene, effectively reduces the compound in electronics and hole.Therefore, the strong adsorption capacity of Graphene and the fast transport of charge carrier facilitate the degraded of photochemical catalyst to dyestuff.
