▎ 摘　　要

Graphene oxide (GO) and gold ions (Au3+) can be simultaneously reduced and self-assembled into a three-dimensional (3D) graphene/Au composite (GA/Au) porous structure at room temperature via one-step gamma-ray irradiation. The microstructure of GA/Au composites were observed under different magnifications and the pores were observed to be uniform 3D porous structure. In addition, Au nanoparticles were homogeneously attached to graphene sheets and had a typical diameter of 6 nm. These GA/Au composites were analyzed and characterized by x-ray diffraction analysis, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and thermal gravity analysis. Due to synergistic catalysis between graphene and Au nanoparticles, GA/Au composites catalyzed 4-nitrophenol with excellent catalytic performance, even at concentrations up to 6.48 x 10(-3) M. When the concentration of 4-nitrophenol was 2.16 x 10(-3) M and 4.22 x 10(-3) M, the first-order kinetic constants were 2.00 and 1.43 min(-1), respectively.
