Dear All
please, Why P25/GO has a bad dispersion in pollutant than P25. I used both of them for MB removal and i found that P25/GO is not dispersed well in MB, but i just put P25 in MB, it is dispersed well and the removal efficiency of P25 is higher than P25/GO
Regards,
It is expected that he removal efficiency of P25/GO is less than P25 itself. Any specific reason behind using GO instead of rGO? As you know that GO is a non-conducting material, so how would it act as pollutant remover?
As Dr. Sarkar mentioned, you need to use reduced Graphene Oxide (rGO) if you are looking for ameliorating the catalytic efficiency. That way, the efficiency might increase which can be attributed to any/both of the following factors:
1. These might be degradation of dye due to surface adsorption on the rGO sheets.
2. rGO might act as macromolecular photosensitizer and inject electrons into conduction band of TiO2. This way it uses the photons efficiently.
Hope this is helpful.
Many thanks.
