Abstract:
We report a simple synthetic route for the preparation of titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ), cobalt ferrite (CoFe 2 O 4 ) nanoparticle and reduced graphene oxide (RGO) based nanocomposites TiO 2 /CoFe 2 O 4 /RGO. This is the first time a
non-hydrothermal technique is reported for preparation of TiO 2 /CoFe 2 O 4 /RGO nanocomposites. Moreover, unlike other reported methods only water was used as reaction medium. Catalytic activity of synthesized nanocomposites towards degradation of various dyes,
such as Methyl Orange, Rhodamine B, Methylene Blue under visible light were investigated. Catalysis reactions were monitored by using UV-vis spectroscopy. TiO 2 /CoFe 2 O 4 /RGO exhibited its high capability to act as an excellent magnetically separable catalyst
towards degradation of various dyes under visible light. The high catalytic activity and simple preparation methodology make TiO 2 /CoFe 2 O 4 /RGO nanocomposites an attractive catalyst for degradation of hazardous organic dyes.
