Application of Ni2O3/NiO/rGO Nanocomposites

Abstract

Introduction

This study introduces an innovative two-step approach to fabricate a high-performance NiO/NiO/rGO nanocomposite photocatalyst. The process synergistically combines solvothermal precursor synthesis with calcination and high-energy ultrasonic irradiation, enabling the in-situ formation of a thin NiO layer on NiO quasi-sphere nanoparticles anchored to a reduced graphene oxide (rGO) matrix.

Method

The incorporation of rGO significantly enhances charge separation, resulting in a dramatic increase in active surface area from 17.1 m2/g to 131 m2/g, and a substantial improvement in the photocatalytic degradation of the resilient Fluorescein dye—achieving an 81% degradation rate under UV light, compared to 36% with pristine NiO.

Results

Comprehensive characterization, including FTIR, XRD, and XPS analyses, confirmed the NiO-NiO interface transformation, successful reduction of graphene oxide, and critical interactions between NiO and NiO.

Conclusion

This study highlights the promising potential of the NiO/NiO/rGO nanocomposite for environmental remediation, particularly in the degradation of persistent organic pollutants.
