The invention provides a method for preparing Fe / N co-doped-TNTs (TiO2 nano-tubes)-reduced
graphene oxide composite catalysts, and belongs to the field of technologies for photocatalytically degrading organic pollutants. The method includes mixing TiO2 nano-tubes and Fe(NO3)3.9H2O with one another to obtain mixtures,
drying the mixtures and calcining the mixtures in N2 flow to obtain Fe-TNTs; dispersing GO (
graphene oxide),
urea and the Fe-TNTs in water, mixing the GO, the
urea, the Fe-TNTs and concentrated HNO3 with one another to obtain mixtures, adding the mixtures into a reaction kettle, carrying out heating reaction, then naturally cooling products until the temperatures of the products reach the
room temperature, washing the products and calcining the products in N2 flow to obtain the Fe / N co-doped-TNTs-reduced
graphene oxide composite catalysts. The method has the advantages that co-
doping is carried out on Fe and N for the TiO2 nano-tubes, accordingly, the visible light
sensitization degree can be upgraded, and organic pollutants can be photocatalytically degraded by the Fe / N co-doped-TNTs-reduced graphene
oxide composite catalysts in visible light; the Fe / N co-doped-TNTs-reduced graphene
oxide composite catalysts comprise TiO2 nano-tube and reduced graphene oxide compositions, accordingly, the absorption spectra of the Fe / N co-doped-TNTs-reduced graphene
oxide composite catalysts can be extended and reach the visible light, and the
photocatalytic degradation capacity of the Fe / N co-doped-TNTs-reduced graphene oxide composite catalysts for the organic pollutants can be improved; the graphene oxide is doped by N, electronic structures of the graphene oxide can be changed, accordingly, the density of free charge carriers of the graphene oxide can be increased, and the photocatalytic capacity of the Fe / N co-doped-TNTs-reduced graphene oxide composite catalysts in the visible light can be improved.
