And ultrasound is uniform, then makes up within 1 hour adsorption-desorption with magnetic agitation in the dark and balance.Photocatalytic Degradation Process is being urged
Middle progress is put in makeup, by the use of 300W xenon lamps as light source come Degradation of Methyl Blueness by Photocatalysis, and is constantly stirred with magnetic stirring apparatus
Mix, every taking supernatant liquor after 10min sampling and testings, centrifugation, methyl blue solution is surveyed using ultraviolet-uisible spectrophotometer
In the absorbance of maximum absorption wave strong point.Degradation efficiency can be used to following formula subrepresentation:
The sign of sample
AFM (AFM) is the detection maximally effective instrument of graphene, and the pattern of graphene is surveyed by AFM
Examination, we can intuitively find out the size and the number of plies in graphene film footpath.We will prepare and garbled surface of graphene oxide
Characterized, as shown in figure 1, Fig. 1 be embodiment 1 prepare preparation graphene oxide AFM (a) shape appearance figures and
(b) cross-section analysis figure, it can be seen that graphene oxide major part thickness is no more than 3 layers, and thickness is no more than 5 layers, oxygen

Photocatalysis is tested
Fig. 5 is that photocatalysis methyl blue tests methyl blue percentage and time chart, the six rib sheets that we prepare embodiment 1
The rib sheet ZnO mixture powders of graphene prepared by ZnO, six rib sheet ZnO of graphene coated and comparative example/six carry out light
Catalysis experiments are tested.As seen from the figure, relative to six rib sheet ZnO of preparation, six rib sheet zinc oxides of graphene coated
The catalytic efficiency of (ZnO@Gr) is improved significantly.At 50 minutes, ZnO catalyst only degrades 61%, and graphene
Six rib sheet ZnO of cladding are almost degradable by methyl blue.It can be seen that graphene and ZnO's is compounded in raising photocatalysis efficiency
In serve important function.And the rib sheet ZnO mixture powders of graphene/six prepared without ZnO surface aminations are (not
Modified ZnO/Gr) in the photocatalysis efficiencies of 50 minutes it is 41.3%, prepared well below ZnO surface aminations
ZnO@Gr, six rib sheet ZnO not being combined with graphene even below.This illustrate in unmodified ZnO/Gr not only ZnO with
Graphene composite effect is very poor, and presence of the graphene in powder also absorbs more luminous energy, reduces the work of ZnO and light
With so that its photocatalysis efficiency is even below six rib sheet ZnO.Further, since the presence of graphene, ZnO@Gr with not
Modified ZnO/Gr shows stronger adsorption capacity to methyl blue.
Photocatalysis performance improves mechanism
As seen from Figure 5, ZnO@Gr have stronger suction-operated to methyl blue in photocatalytic process, so as to methyl blue
Have more preferable contact action, when light action on a catalyst when, photoexcitation carrier can be acted on more easily on methyl blue,
It is allowed to degrade.After the methyl blue adsorbed on catalyst is degraded, catalyst continues the methyl blue in adsorbent solution, is allowed to continue to
In adsorption-desorption poised state.
Fig. 6 is (the α h ν) calculated by sample UV-Vis DRS spectrum2- h ν curves, it can be deduced that embodiment 1 is made
Standby ZnO and ZnO@Gr band gap is respectively 3.26 and 3.22eV, it is seen that the cladding reduction ZnO of graphene band gap,
So as to reduce the excitation wavelength of light induced electron, ZnO is more also easy to produce photoexcitation carrier, and then improves ZnO photocatalysis speed
Rate.Be can be seen that from UV-vis DRS spectrum compared with ZnO, ZnO@Gr light absorbs have obvious red shift and
It can be seen that increasing near ultraviolet band absorptivity so that the photoinduction scope of compound broadens, the light that can improve catalyst is utilized
Rate.
Fig. 7 is ZnO and ZnO@Gr prepared by embodiment 1 photoluminescence spectra figure, wherein, it is 398nm in wavelength
Black light produced by photo-excited electron and hole-recombination, when photo-generate electron-hole is larger to recombination probability, produce
Luminous intensity it is bigger, and light induced electron and the compound of hole reduce the quantity in high energy electron and hole, are unfavorable for catalyst pair
The catalysis of methyl blue.Six rib sheet ZnO photoluminescence intensities of graphene coated are big it can be seen from photoluminescence intensity figure
Big reduction, this shows that light induced electron and the probability of hole-recombination are greatly reduced in the compound, and photo-generated carrier has been obtained effectively
Separation.This is due to that graphene can undertake the reception and transmission effect of electronics, and the photo-excited electron that ZnO surfaces are produced is transferred to
On graphene, and graphene has conduction well to electronics, therefore can quickly transmit electronics, thus by electronics with
Hole is efficiently separated.
