The invention discloses a
graphene quantum dots-
bismuth tungstate composite photocatalyst and a preparation method thereof. According to the composite photocatalyst,
bismuth tungstate is used as a photocatalyst, and
graphene quantum dots are loaded on
bismuth tungstate. The preparation method comprises the following steps: carrying out ultrasonic mixing on a
graphene quantum dots solution, sodiumtungstate and deionized water, and then adding cetyl trimethyl
ammonium bromide to obtain a solution A; dissolving
bismuth nitrate in
acetic acid to prepare a solution B, slowly adding the solution Binto the solution A and stirring to obtain a precursor suspension; transferring the precursor suspension into a
microwave reaction instrument to carry out a
microwave reaction, centrifuging the suspension and
drying to prepare a graphene quantum dots-modified bismuth tungstate composite photocatalyst. The composite photocatalyst has good degree of
crystallization, uniform morphology, has high photocatalytic activity, strong light absorption capability and high light-generated
electron-cavity separation efficiency, and is safe and stable. The technology is simple,
reaction conditions are mild and easy to control. The graphene quantum dots-bismuth tungstate composite photocatalyst is easy for industrial production and has good industrial application prospect.
