Modulation of Photochemical Activity of Titania Nanosheets via Heteroassembly with Reduced Graphene Oxide. Enhancement of Photoinduced Hydrophilic Conversion Properties

MDR Open Deposited

We report on the layer-by-layer integration of photofunctional titania nanosheets and conductive reduced graphene oxide (rGO) to enhance the photochemical activity of the titania nanosheets. Heteroassembled films were fabricated by sequentially assembling graphene oxide (GO) and titania nanosheets with a cationic polymer and subsequently exposing to UV light to reduce the GO. The films showed an accelerated photoinduced hydrophilic conversion. This behavior indicates that the rGO worked as an electron transfer mediator and improved the photoinduced charge separation efficiency.
