The design of high-efficiency materials is a major challenge for the degradation of organic pollutants. In this work, type IIp-nheterojunction photocatalyst Fe2TiO5/rGO, with enhanced performance, was successfully prepared through simple process. The Fe2TiO5/rGO composites were prepared by hosting several amounts of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) into pseudobrookite nanocrystals (Fe2TiO5) which were priorly synthesized by a solid-state reaction. The morphology and the properties of the as-prepared composites were characterized through different techniques. The fixation of rGO sheets on Fe(2)TiO(5)was proved using the X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD). The results of the scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis showed a good mixing of rGO with Fe2TiO5. The X-ray fluorescence (XRF) confirmed the purity of the pristine Fe2TiO5. The dynamic light scattering (DLS) illustrated a strong tendency to aggregation. Ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS) analysis was performed to characterize the electronic aspect as the gap and the Urbach energies. Finally, computational density functional theory (DFT) calculations were carried out to confirm the experimental results. The adsorptive and photoactivity of Fe2TiO5/rGO heterojunction photocatalysts were evaluated by methylene blue (MB) degradation under visible light irradiation. The highest MB degradation rate was achieved for Fe2TiO5/rGO(10%)photocatalyst with the highest value of the elimination rate.
