Arc process-based graphene/titanium dioxide composite material preparation method

Abstract

The invention relates to an arc process-based graphene/titanium dioxide composite material preparation method. The preparation method comprises the following steps: weighing titanium dioxide, and putting the weighed titanium dioxide between a cathode and an anode of an arc discharge apparatus; introducing a helium and air mixed gas into the arc discharge apparatus; starting the arc discharge apparatus to discharge, adjusting the current size, controlling the reaction time; and ending the discharge to prepare the graphene/titanium dioxide composite material. The method overcomes the discharge danger in hydrogen atmosphere, accelerates the reaction speed of raw materials through arc discharge, and has a short synthetic time. The method has the advantages of simple technology, convenient operation and strong practicality.

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of inorganic composite materials, in particular to a method for preparing a graphene / titanium dioxide composite material based on an arc method and the prepared material. Background technique [0002] Graphene is a stable two-dimensional planar structure. Therefore, graphene has extremely high electrical and thermal conductivity, high specific strength and large specific surface area. When graphene is combined with other substances, composite materials with excellent performance can be prepared. Combining graphene with semiconductor materials, when the material is irradiated by light, photogenerated electrons can be injected into graphene, effectively preventing the recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes, thereby improving photocatalytic efficiency and significantly improving the performance of photocatalytic materials.
