Abstrakt: An efficient N-doped reduced graphene oxide (N-RGO)/Ag3PO4 nanocomposite with enhanced photocatalytic activity has been prepared through a facile solution-based approach. Since N-RGO could offer more sites for the anchoring of Ag3PO4 nanoparticles, and effectively promote the charge carriers separation and transfer due to its high electrical conductivity, the photocatalytic activity of N-RGO/Ag3PO4 nanocomposite is much higher than bare Ag3PO4 and N-RGO in the degradation of phenol pollutant under simulated solar light irradiation. The mechanism for the photocatalytic process was also investigated. The excellent photocatalytic performance makes the N-RGO/Ag3PO4 nanocomposite a promising photocatalyst for organic pollutant treatment. A N-doped reduced graphene oxide (N-RGO)/Ag3PO4 nanocomposite is prepared through a facile solutionbased approach. The nanocomposite exhibits enhanced photocatalytic activity for phenol degradation. The mechanism of the photocatalytic reaction is proposed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
