    VIS-active TiO2 films decorated by expanded graphite
    2024 - BENTO, RODRIGO T.; CORREA, OLANDIR V.; GASTELOIS, PEDRO L.; PILLIS, MARINA F.
    TiO2/C nanocomposite films were applied on water treatment. Expanded graphite nanosheets (EG) were obtained by UVC-assisted liquid-phase exfoliation technique, without the addition of acids, surfactants, or aggressive oxidizing agents, which characterizes the process as an eco-friendly method. The carbon nanosheets were synthesized directly from graphite bulk at different times and deposited on TiO2 films surface by airbrush spray coating method, forming a TiO2/C heterojunction. The increase in the exfoliation time promoted a more efficient photocatalytic dye removal under visible light. Morphological modifications, changes in the electronic structure, and wide range of light absorption were observed from the TiO2/C heterojunction formation. The results showed that hybrid TiO2/C supported photocatalyst is a promise alternative for practical photocatalytic applications under sunlight.
