Improved Photocatalytic Activity Using Ternary Au-ZnO/rGO Nanocomposite

In the present study, ternary Au-ZnO/rGO nanocomposite was prepared using a modified polyol protocol. The ternary structure was attained by deposition of both gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and ZnO NPs on the rGO surface. No surfactants or ligands are used in this chemical process. On the other hand, 1,3-propanediol was used as solvent, reducing agent and surfactant to ensure the formation of NPs and inhibit particles accumulation. The XRD data confirm the successful formation of the three materials and the high crystallinity of the as-prepared sample. Moreover, the XPS measurements confirmed the high purity of the nanocomposite. TEM images show the formation of ternary Au/ZnO/rGO nanostructure. However, Au and ZnO NPs exhibited spherical shape with an average size of 20 nm and homogeneously distribution onto the rGO surface. The ternary Au-ZnO/rGO nanocomposite exhibited optical response in both UV and visible region due to the plasmonic properties of AuNPs. The BET data revealed an increase of the surface area of Au-ZnO/rGO nanocomposite compared to bare ZnO and hybrid Au-ZnO NPs which render it a promising system for high photocatalytic activity. The preliminary photodegradation measurements against MB molecules prove the high performance of the ternary Au-ZnO/rGO nanocomposite to decompose pollutant molecules compared to bare ZnO. The observed photocatalytic activity enhancement could be attributed to the apport given by both plasmonic properties of AuNPs and the high surface area of rGO.

The photocatalytic degradation of polyethylene (PE) plastic was carried out directly under the sunlight irradiation with polypyrrole/TiO₂ (PPy/TiO₂) nanocomposite as photocatalyst, which prepared by sol-gel and emulsion polymerization methods.
