▎ 摘  要

In this study, we report the synthesis of NiWO4/nitrogen doped reduced graphene oxide nano composite by one-pot hydrothermal method. The NiWO4 nano particles were dispersed uniformly on graphene sheets. The as prepared NiWO4, NiWO4/5% rGO and NiWO4/N-5% rGO composites were analytically characterized by Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS-UV), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and N-2 adsorption-desorption isotherm. The photocatalytic performances of the synthesized composites were evaluated towards the photo degradation of congo red (CR) under visible light radiation. The synthesized catalysts showed remarkable photocatalytic activity in the degradation of CR. Among the catalysts NiWO4/N-5% rGO showed the highest decolourization of congo red (92%) under visible light irradiation. This high activity is attributed to its high e(-) transport property. Our results provide an invaluable methodology for designing high-performance photo-catalysts for new energy applications.
