▎ 摘　　要

The environmental pollutions by organic pollutants and radionuclides have aroused great concern. Developing highly efficient elimination methods becomes an imperious demand. In this study, a nano composite of K2Ti6O13 (KTO) nanobelts hybridized graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets (GO/KTO) was used to photodegrade RhB (dye) and photoreduce U(VI) (radionuclide), which was synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method. The adsorption capacity and the slope (k) of the curve -ln(C/C) versus time in photodegradation of RhB by GO/KTO were higher than that by GO and KTO. In the presence of different free radical scavengers, superoxide radical (center dot O-2(-)) was found to play the most significant role in the reaction. The XPS experiment indicates U(VI) was successfully photoreduced to less toxic U(IV). The pH dependent photocatalytic experiments on RhB and U(VI) both showed the best performance at neutral pH value (from pH 6 to pH 8). To investigate the reason for the enhanced photocatalysis of GO/KTO, the morphology/microstructure, optical and photo-electrochemical properties were examined. The enhanced abilities of separation of photo electrons and holes and the adsorption of GO/KTO were ascribed to the structure of KTO nanobelts laying on the surface of GO nanosheets, which may maximize the contacting area between KTO and GO, and thus greatly reduce the surface related oxygen defects to enhance the electron interface transfer between KTO and GO and decrease the recombination efficiency of electrons and holes. These results showed the GO/KTO has great application potential in environmental treatment of organic pollutants and high valent heavy/radionuclide ions at neutral condition. (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd.
