▎ 摘  要

The graphene (GR)/TiO(2 )membrane was prepared by the sol-gel method and coated on the indium tin oxide (ITO) conductive glass, which showed high and stable photo(electro)-catalytic activities to rhodamine B (Rh-B) in water. Characterization results showed that the GR was dispersed and wrapped in the needle-like TiO2. With GR/TiO2 membrane and simulated sunlight irradiation, the removal efficiency of Rh-B (10 mg l(-1 )and pH at 5.4) arrived at 87.6% within 300 min. However, the higher removal efficiency for Rh-B reached to 97.8% by the photo-electro-catalytic degradation with the applied voltage 4 v for 30 min. The OH that generated in the photo-catalytic degradation process were responsible for Rh-B decomposition. The O-2(-) played the significant role in the photo-electro-catalytic degradation of Rh-B. Furthermore, the decarboxylation was also occurred in the photo-electro-catalytic degradation for the Rh-B in water except for the deethylation and hydroxylation in the photo-catalytic degradation. In addition, the toxicities of the intermediates were calculated using the ECOSAR program and the EPIWIN software. The results indicated that the toxicities of intermediates from photo-electro-catalytic degradation for the Rh-B were higher than photo-catalytic degradation, due to the generation of decarboxylate.
